Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient Amino Acid Sequence 14 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human Bid. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionBackground Bid is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that regulates outer mitochondrial membrane permeability. Bid is a pro-apoptotic member that causes cytochrome c to be released from the mitochondria intermembrane space into the cytosol. In healthy cells Bid is cytosolic. In response to Fas ligand or TNF Bid is cleaved by caspase-8 and it then relocates to the mitochondria outer membrane. Cleavage of Bid by caspase-8 generates a new N-terminal that contains a terminal glycine. It appears that the glycine is myristoylated and myristoylation serves to target Bid to the mitochondria. Bid may then interact with another pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bak. Interaction of Bid with Bak causes altered mitochondrial membrane permeability. A 9 - 13 amino acid stretch called the BH3 region (Bcl-2 homology region) appears to mediate the Bid interaction with other Bcl-2 family members. Bid is neutralized by binding to the anti-apoptotic member Bcl-x. References & Citations1. Wang K, Yin XM, Chao DT, et al. BID: a novel BH3 domain-only death agonist. Genes Dev. 1996; 10:2859-69. |
