BNIP3 (BH3 Domain Specific) Blocking Peptide | BNIP3 blocking peptide

BNIP3 Antibody (BH3 Domain Specific) Blocking peptide

• Gene Names: BNIP3; NIP3
• Synonyms: BNIP3 (BH3 Domain Specific); BNIP3 Antibody (BH3 Domain Specific) Blocking peptide; BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3; BNIP3; NIP3; BNIP3 blocking peptide

• Specificity: The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody was selected from the region of human NIP3 BH3 Domain. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
• Form/Format: The synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml deionized water for a final concentration of 1 mg/ml.
• Sequence Length: 194

• Cellular Location: Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Note: Coexpression with the EIB 19- kDa protein results in a shift in NIP3 localization pattern to the nuclear envelope. Colocalizes with ACAA2 in the mitochondria Colocalizes with SPATA18 at the mitochondrion outer membrane
• Preparation and Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C.

Related Product Information for BNIP3 blocking peptide

Apoptosis-inducing protein that can overcome BCL2 suppression. May play a role in repartitioning calcium between the two major intracellular calcium stores in association with BCL2. Involved in mitochondrial quality control via its interaction with SPATA18/MIEAP: in response to mitochondrial damage, participates to mitochondrial protein catabolic process (also named MALM) leading to the degradation of damaged proteins inside mitochondria. The physical interaction of SPATA18/MIEAP, BNIP3 and BNIP3L/NIX at the mitochondrial outer membrane regulates the opening of a pore in the mitochondrial double membrane in order to mediate the translocation of lysosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix. Plays an important role in the calprotectin (S100A8/A9)-induced cell death pathway.

NCBI Description

This gene is encodes a mitochondrial protein that contains a BH3 domain and acts as a pro-apoptotic factor. The encoded protein interacts with anti-apoptotic proteins, including the E1B 19 kDa protein and Bcl2. This gene is silenced in tumors by DNA methylation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
