Related Product Information for anti-BIK antibody
Bik Antibody: Apoptosis plays a major role in normal organism development, tissue homeostasis, and removal of damaged cells and is caused by the activation of proteolytic enzymes termed caspases. Proteins that comprise the Bcl-2 family appear to control the activation of these enzymes. One such protein BIK was recently identified as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-residing pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 homology domain-3 (BH3)-only group of the Bcl-2 family that stimulates mitochondrial release of cytochrome c following p53 induction of apoptosis. A significant fraction of BIK is found as an ER transmembrane protein, with most of the protein facing the cytosol. Restricting BIK to the ER membrane by replacing the transmembrane region with that of the ER-selective membrane anchor of cytochrome b resulted in a decreased cytochrome c release from mitochondria and a corresponding drop in cell death. Recent evidence suggests that BIK cooperates with NOXA, another BH3-only protein, to somehow enhance the activation of Bax to stimulate the rapid release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene shares a critical BH3 domain with other death-promoting proteins, such as BID, BAK, BAD and BAX, that is required for its pro-apoptotic activity, and for interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 family, and viral survival-promoting proteins. Since the activity of this protein is suppressed in the presence of survival-promoting proteins, it is suggested as a likely target for anti-apoptotic proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Uniprot Description

BIK: accelerates programmed cell death. Binding to the apoptosis repressors Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, or BHRF1 (the Epstein-Barr virus homolog of Bcl-2) suppresses its death-promoting activity. Contains 1 Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain. Does not interact with Bax.

Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Apoptosis; Mitochondrial

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 22q13.31

Cellular Component: mitochondrial membrane; integral to membrane; endomembrane system

Molecular Function: BH domain binding; protein binding; protein heterodimerization activity

Biological Process: apoptotic mitochondrial changes; apoptosis; positive regulation of protein homooligomerization; male gonad development; spermatogenesis

Product Notes

The BIK bik (Catalog #AAA151241) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Bik Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Bik can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunofluorescence (IF). BIK antibody can be used for the detection of BIK by Western blot at 1 - 2 mug/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 1 mug/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 mug/mL. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the BIK bik for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Bik, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
