BAK1 blocking peptide
BAK1 Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form oligomers or heterodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein localizes to mitochondria, and functions to induce apoptosis. It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. This protein also interacts with the tumor suppressor P53 after exposure to cell stress. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
BAK1: In the presence of an appropriate stimulus, accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the anti- apoptotic action of BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Low micromolar levels of zinc ions inhibit the promotion of apoptosis. Interacts with BCL2A1. Homodimer. Formation of the homodimer is zinc-dependent. Forms heterodimers with BCL2, E1B 19k protein, and BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L). Interacts with myxoma virus protein M11L. Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the heart and skeletal muscle. Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

Product Notes
The BAK1 bak1 (Catalog #AAA425189) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The BAK1 Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Pig and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: ASGQGPGPPR QE-C. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BAK1, Blocking Peptide" 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.Precautions
