Bcl-2 suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells. Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases. Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1). [UniProt]
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Bcl-2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 144-171 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this Bcl-2 antibody.
Can be stored at 4oC for one month.For long term, aliquot the Bcl-2 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
