Bcl-x [2H12]
Description Bcl-x, also know as Bcl-2-like protein 1, is a member of the Bcl-2 protein family. It inhibits cell death, or apoptosis. Bcl-x is expressed as two isomeric forms, Bcl-xL and Bcl-xS, and it is typically present in the cytosol in association with the mitochondrial membrane. Bcl-xL forms heterodimers with various proteins, including Bax, Bak and Bcl-2. It has been found that heterodimerization with Bax does not seem to be required for anti-apoptotic activity. Since Bcl-xL can form an ion channel in synthetic lipid membranes, there is a strong possibility that this property plays a role in heterodimerizationindependent cell survival. The Bcl-X(S) isoform promotes apoptosis. Bcl-x is expressed in many types of cell including lymphocytes, neuronal cells, and epithelial cells. In tumors, a high level of Bcl-x has been found in Reed Sternberg cells in Hodgkin’s disease. Overexpression of Bcl-x has been observed in primary central nervous system lymphomas that occur in immunosuppressed patients Host Mouse Application Flow cytometry (FC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat,Pig (Porcine) -
