Bcl-2-like protein 1 (BCL2L1), partial, human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 1-209aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MSQSNRELVV DFLSYKLSQK GYSWSQFSDV EENRTEAPEG TESEMETPSA INGNPSWHLA DSPAVNGATG HSSSLDAREV IPMAAVKQAL REAGDEFELR YRRAFSDLTS QLHITPGTAY QSFEQVVNEL FRDGVNWGRI VAFFSFGGAL CVESVDKEMQ VLVSRIAAWM ATYLNDHLEP WIQENGGWDT FVELYGNNAA AESRKGQER. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: 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 mbrane. Also acts as a regulator of G2 checkpoint and progression to cytokinesis during mitosis.Isoform Bcl-X(L) also regulates presynaptic plasticity, including neurotransmitter release and recovery, number of axonal mitochondria as well as size and number of synaptic vesicle clusters. During synaptic stimulation, increases ATP availability from mitochondria through regulation of mitochondrial mbrane ATP synthase F1F0 activity and regulates endocytic vesicle retrieval in hippocampal neurons through association with DMN1L and stimulation of its GTPase activity in synaptic vesicles.Isoform Bcl-X(S) promotes apoptosis. Reference: bcl-x, a bcl-2-related gene that functions as a dominant regulator of apoptotic cell death.Boise L.H., Gonzalez-Garcia M., Postema C.E., Ding L., Lindsten T., Turka L.A., Mao X., Nunez G., Thompson C.B.Cell 74:597-608(1993).
