Apoptosis plays a major role in normal organism development, tissue homeostasis, and removal of damaged cells.
Disruption of this process has been implicated in a variety of diseases such as cancer (reviewed in 1).
The Bcl-2 family of proteins is comprised of critical regulators of apoptosis that can be divided into two classes: those that inhibit apoptosis and those that promote cell death (reviewed in 2 and 3).
Bid, a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member, is cleaved by caspase-8 in response to apoptotic signals (4,5), exposing the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain which is normally buried in the full-length protein (6).
The cleaved complex is myris-toylated and translocated to the mitochondrial membrane where it may induce mitochondrial Bax and Bak to oligomerize (7,8).
Applications:Can be used for detection of Bid by Western blot at 0.5 to 1ug/ml.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%).
Store at -20°C or colder.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
