The Bax Polyclonal Antibody (CAB15633) is a valuable tool for researchers studying apoptosis and cell death pathways. Bax is a key player in the regulation of programmed cell death, and this antibody, generated in rabbits, specifically targets the Bax protein in human samples.Validated for use in Western blot applications, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis of Bax expression levels in various cell types. Its high reactivity and specificity make it an ideal choice for studies in cancer research, as dysregulation of apoptosis pathways is a hallmark of many types of cancer.
By targeting Bax, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms of cell death and potential therapeutic targets for diseases characterized by abnormal cell survival. This antibody is a valuable tool for understanding the role of Bax in apoptosis and its potential implications for cancer therapy.

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.
