Expression System:
Sequence :
Specificity :Recognizes the BCL2 protein
Cited Applications :WB, ELISA, IF, IHC
Cross Reactivity :Human and Mouse
Host / Isotype / Clone# :Rabbit, IgG
Immunogen :BCL2 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids near the N terminus of human BCL2

Stability :Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Sample Data :Western blot analysis of BCL2 in Daudi cell lysates with BCL2 antibody at (A) 1, (B) 2, and (C) 4 ug/ml.
Sample Data :Immunohistochemical staining of human kidney using BCL2 antibody at 2 ug/ml.
Scientific Background :BCL2 gene encodes an integral inner mitochondrial membrane protein that acts as an antiapoptotic protein (1). The protein BAD can antagonize both the cell cycle and antiapoptotic functions of BCL2 through binding to the BH3 domain. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma (2). BCL2 is phosphorylated on specific serine/threonine residues within the unstructured loop in response to diverse stimuli and such phosphorylation has been associated with the loss of the biological function of BCL2.
