AHP471T recognises the human BAX protein, a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. BAX accelerates programmed cell death by binding to and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. It also induces the release of cytochrome C , activation of CASP3 and thereby apoptosis. Defects in BAX are found in some cell lines from hematopoietic malignancies as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Burkitt lymphoma, and plasmacytoma.
BAX migrates as a 21kD band in western blotting applications. Serotec recommend the use ofAHP471for this purpose.
