Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Purification
Bcl-B Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Bcl-B antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino terminus of human Bcl-B. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of Bcl-B.
Bcl-B antibody can be used for the detection of Bcl-B by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, Bcl-B is often at higher molecular weights, presumably due to post-translational modifications. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunocytochemistry in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Bcl-B Antibody: Members in the Bcl-2 family are critical regulators of apoptosis by either inhibiting or promoting cell death. Bcl-B is a recently discovered anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2. Unlike the mouse homolog (also known as Diva/Boo) which is predominantly expressed in ovary and testis, the human Bcl-B protein is widely expressed. Also, the human Bcl-B functions by binding to and suppressing the apoptotic activity of Bax, whereas the mouse homolog binds Bak and also interacts with the apoptosis protein Apaf-1.
