Anti-BAK Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to BAK

Western blot analysis of BAK expression in Hela (A), H1688 (B) whole cell lysates.
Immunohistochemical analysis of BAK staining in human lung cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	BAK1
Synonyms	BAK, BCL2L7, CDN1
Function	Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. Upon arrival of cell death signals, promotes mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization by oligomerizing to form pores within the MOM. This releases apoptogenic factors into the cytosol, including cytochrome c, promoting the activation of caspase 9 which in turn processes and activates the effector caspases.
Cellular Location	Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein
Tissue Location	Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the heart and skeletal muscle
