Product Properties
Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human BAX in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human BAX and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
Post Translational Modifications
Ubiquitinated in the absence of XRCC6/Ku70. Ubiquitination promotes protein degradation. Ubiquitinated on Lys-128 and Lys-190. 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains on Lys-128 are removed by USP12.
Function
Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. Under normal conditions, BAX is largely cytosolic via constant retrotranslocation from mitochondria to the cytosol mediated by BCL2L1/Bcl-xL, which avoids accumulation of toxic BAX levels at the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis.
