Subunit Structure: Monomer; positively regulates apoptotic process. Homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer (By similarity). Oligomer; promoted by apoptotic stimuli and BH3-only proteins; mediates constitutive activation (PubMed:15868100). Interacts (via BH4 domain) with ITPR1; enhances BOK expression and stabilization; limits apoptosis and prevents ubiquitination and then degradation; protects ITPR1 from proteolysis by CASP3 during apoptosis (PubMed:23884412). Interacts with ITPR2 AND ITPR3; binds most strongly to ITPR2, and barely to ITPR3; regulates their expression (By similarity). Interacts with XPO1; translocates to the cytoplasm (PubMed:16302269). Interacts with BNIP3; promotes oligomerization (PubMed:15868100).
Post-translational Modifications: Ubiquitinated by AMFR/gp78 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex; mediates degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in a VCP/p97-dependent manner; prevents from pro-apoptotic activity; promotes degradation of newly synthesized proteins that are not ITPR1 associated.
Similarity: BH4 domain mediates interaction with ITPR1. Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 family, members of which form homo- or heterodimers, and act as anti- or proapoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes. Studies in rat show that this protein has restricted expression in reproductive tissues, interacts strongly with some antiapoptotic BCL2 proteins, not at all with proapoptotic BCL2 proteins, and induces apoptosis in transfected cells. Thus, this protein represents a proapoptotic member of the BCL2 family. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
Uniprot Description
Isoform 1: Apoptosis regulator that functions through different apoptotic signaling pathways (PubMed:27076518, PubMed:15102863, PubMed:20673843). Plays a roles as pro-apoptotic protein that positively regulates intrinsic apoptotic process in a BAX- and BAK1-dependent manner or in a BAX- and BAK1-independent manner (PubMed:27076518, PubMed:15102863). In response to endoplasmic reticulum stress promotes mitochondrial apoptosis through downstream BAX/BAK1 activation and positive regulation of PERK-mediated unfolded protein response (). Activates apoptosis independently of heterodimerization with survival-promoting BCL2 and BCL2L1 through induction of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, in a BAX- and BAK1-independent manner, in response to inhibition of ERAD-proteasome degradation system, resulting in cytochrome c release (PubMed:27076518). In response to DNA damage, mediates intrinsic apoptotic process in a TP53-dependent manner (PubMed:15102863). Plays a role in granulosa cell apoptosis by CASP3 activation (PubMed:20673843). Plays a roles as anti-apoptotic protein during neuronal apoptotic process, by negatively regulating poly ADP-ribose polymerase-dependent cell death through regulation of neuronal calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial bioenergetics in response to NMDA excitation (). In addition to its role in apoptosis, may regulate trophoblast cell proliferation during the early stages of placental development, by acting on G1/S transition through regulation of CCNE1 expression (PubMed:19942931). May also play a role as an inducer of autophagy by disrupting interaction between MCL1 and BECN1 (PubMed:24113155).

Product Notes
The BOK bok (Catalog #AAA9605285) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The BOK Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's BOK can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB 1:1000-3000, ELISA(peptide) 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the BOK bok 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 "BOK, 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.Precautions
