NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
an anti-apoptotic protein; involved in inhibiting cell death in many different cell types [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Function: Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells. Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases. Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1).
Subunit structure: Forms homodimers, and heterodimers with BAX, BAD, BAK and Bcl-X(L). Heterodimerization with BAX requires intact BH1 and BH2 motifs, and is necessary for anti-apoptotic activity. Also interacts with APAF1, BBC3, BCL2L1, BNIPL, EI24, FKBP8, MRPL41, and TP53BP2. Interacts with BAG1 in an ATP-dependent manner. Interacts with RAF1 (the 'Ser-338' and 'Ser-339' phosphorylated form). Interacts (via the BH4 domain) with EGLN3; the interaction prevents the formation of the BAX-BCL2 complex and inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of BCL2
By similarity. Interacts with G0S2; this interaction also prevents the formation of the anti-apoptotic BAX-BCL2 complex
By similarity. Interacts with BOP
By similarity. Ref.4
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Nucleus membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in a variety of tissues, with highest levels in reproductive tissues. In the adult brain, expression is localized in mitral cells of the olfactory bulb, granule and pyramidal neurons of hippocampus, pontine nuclei, cerebellar granule neurons, and in ependymal cells. In prenatal brain, expression is higher and localized in the neuroepithelium and in the cortical plate.
Domain: The BH4 motif is required for anti-apoptotic activity and for interaction with RAF1 and EGLN3
By similarity.
Post-translational modification: Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation on Ser-70 regulates anti-apoptotic activity. Growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation on Ser-70 by PKC is required for the anti-apoptosis activity and occurs during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. In the absence of growth factors, BCL2 appears to be phosphorylated by other protein kinases such as ERKs and stress-activated kinases. Phosphorylated by MAPK8/JNK1 at Thr-69, Ser-70 and Ser-84, wich stimulates starvation-induced autophagy
By similarity. Dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A)
By similarity.Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. The cleaved protein, lacking the BH4 motif, has pro-apoptotic activity, causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol promoting further caspase activity
By similarity.Monoubiquitinated by PARK2, leading to increase its stability
By similarity.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

Product Notes
The Bcl2 bcl2 (Catalog #AAA659532) is a Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Bcl 2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). The peptide is used for blocking the activity of Bcl-2 (NT) antibody. It usually blocks the antibody activity completely in Western blot by incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37 degree C. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Bcl2 bcl2 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 "Bcl 2, 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
