Human Bax ELISA Kit

製品の詳細

Human Bax ELISA Kit ab199080 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human Bax in cell culture extracts, tissue extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 2.2 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human Bax SimpleStep ELISA^®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA^® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA^® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA^® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Bax is a pro-apoptotic factor of Bcl-2 family. It accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Under stress conditions, Bax undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Bax promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis. Under a normal conditions, Bax colocalizes with 14-3-3 proteins in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, Bax undergoes a conformation change that causes release from JNK-phosphorylated 14-3-3 proteins and translocation to the mitochondrion membrane. Bax forms higher oligomers under stress conditions. Bax interacts with BCL2L11. The interaction with BCL2L11 promotes BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondrial membranes, with subsequent release of cytochrome c. Bax forms heterodimers with BCL2, E1B 19K protein, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2L2, MCL1 and A1. Bax interacts with SH3GLB1 and HN. Bax interacts with SFN and YWHAZ; the interaction occurs in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, JNK-mediated phosphorylation of SFN and YWHAZ, releases BAX to mitochondria. Bax isoform Sigma interacts with BCL2A1 and BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L). Bax interacts with RNF144B, which regulates the ubiquitin-dependent stability of BAX. Bax interacts with CLU under stress conditions that cause a conformation change leading to BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondria. Bax does not interact with CLU in unstressed cells. Bax interacts with FAIM2/LFG2. Bax interacts with human cytomegalovirus/HHV-5 protein vMIA/UL37. Bax interacts with BOP/C22orf29.
