Description: Members of the Bcl-2 protein family function to inhibit (Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, A1) or promote (Bax, Bak, Bcl-Ls, Bad) apoptosis. Bid is a Bcl-2 family death agonist that heterodimerizes with either agonists (Bax) or antagonists (Bcl-2). Bid contains a centrally located BH3 domain that allows interaction with the BH1 domain of Bax and Bcl-2, as well as two caspase cleavage sites (CCS). However, Bid does not contain other domains commonly found in Bcl-2 family members, such as BH1, BH2, or BH4. In addition, Bid does not contain a C-terminal hydrophobic region that is characteristic of membrane-bound Bcl-2 family members. Singlet oxygen-induced apoptosis in human leukemia cells and Fas-induced apoptosis involve caspase-8 cleavage of Bid, which produces a 15 kDa C-terminal fragment and a 6.5 kDa N-terminal fragment. The C-terminal fragment translocates to the mitochondria and promotes the release of cytochrome C through a mechanism that might involve destabilization of the mitochondrial membrane. Thus, the proapoptotic role of Bid may involve mitochondrial membrane destabilization, as well as multiple protein-protein interactions.

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
