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.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts.Titration of the Bid antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

Human partial recombinant protein (AA 1-195) was used as the immunogen for this Bid antibody.

After reconstitution, the Bid antibody can be stored for up to one month at4oC.For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
