BID (BH3-Interacting Domain Death Agonist), is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family. The BCL2 family of proteins consists of both antagonists and agonists that regulate apoptosis and compete through dimerization. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Wang et al. (1998) mapped the human BID gene to 22q11. Luo et al. (1998) reported the purification of a cytosolic protein that induces cytochrome c release from mitochondria in response to caspase-8, the apical caspase activated by cell surface death receptors such as FAS and TNF.

Optimal dilution of the Bid antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Recombinant human protein (amino acids M1-VD195) was used as the immunogen for the Bid antibody.

After reconstitution, the Bid antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
