Anti-Bcl-XS

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Bcl-XS is the second mRNA species of Bcl-X protein, which encodes a protein that inhibits the ability of Bcl-2 to enhance the survival of growth factor-deprived cells. In vivo, Bcl-XS mRNA is expressed at high levels in cells that undergo a high rate of turnover, such as developing lymphocytes. Apoptosis was associated with increased protein expression of Bcl-XS, an early marker of apoptosis, and release of Cytochrome C into the cytosol of infected HB cells. Protein function: Potent inhibitor of cell death. Inhibits activation of caspases. Appears to regulate cell death by blocking the voltage- dependent anion channel (VDAC) by binding to it and preventing the release of the caspase activator, CYC1, from the mitochondrial membrane. Also acts as a regulator of G2 checkpoint and progression to cytokinesis during mitosis. [The UniProt Consortium]
