BAK (BAK1 or BCL2L7) antibody

Anti-BAK (BAK1 or BCL2L7) antibody is validated on mouse tissue and recommended for immunofluorescence labeling, IHC, or western blot of materials from rodent and human tissues.

Bcl2 homologous antagonist/killer (BAK) is an apoptotic protein that is encoded by the BAK1 gene in human. BAK belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form oligomers or heterodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cell death pathways. BAK localizes to mitochondria, and functions to induce apoptosis. It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c.
