The Bax Polyclonal Antibody (CAB11550) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the Bax protein, a key regulator of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity for human samples, making it an ideal choice for Western blot applications. By binding to the Bax protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis of Bax expression in various cell types.Bax is a critical protein involved in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, playing a pivotal role in regulating cell death. Dysregulation of Bax expression has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions.
Therefore, understanding the function and regulation of Bax is essential for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying these pathologies and developing potential therapeutic interventions.Overall, the Bax Polyclonal Antibody (CAB11550) is a valuable research tool for investigating the role of Bax in cellular processes and disease pathology, providing researchers with reliable and accurate results for their studies in cancer biology, neuroscience, and immunology.

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein forms a heterodimer with BCL2, and functions as an apoptotic activator. This protein is reported to interact with, and increase the opening of, the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), which leads to the loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. The expression of this gene is regulated by the tumor suppressor P53 and has been shown to be involved in P53-mediated apoptosis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been reported for this gene.
UniProt Protein Function:
Accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis.
