BAX, a pivotal pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family, serves as a critical regulator of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Upon activation, BAX undergoes conformational changes that enable its translocation to the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it promotes cytochrome c release and subsequent caspase activation. This central role in programmed cell death makes BAX an essential target for researchers investigating cancer biology, cellular stress responses, and metabolic regulation.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 15D9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research requires. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human BAX and produced using recombinant technology, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity with minimal lot-to-lot variation. This reliability is particularly valuable for longitudinal studies or when comparing results across experimental timelines.
The antibody demonstrates validated performance across multiple applications, giving researchers flexibility in their experimental design. Immunohistochemistry validation has been performed in both human rectal cancer tissue and mouse lung tissue at 1:50 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, confirming cross-species reactivity between human and mouse samples. Flow cytometry analysis in HeLa cells shows clear positive signal separation from isotype control, with optimal performance at 1:50 dilution following formaldehyde fixation and Triton X-100 permeabilization.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability at -20°C or -80°C, this affinity-purified rabbit IgG antibody is well-suited for researchers exploring apoptotic signaling in cancer progression, metabolic dysfunction, or fundamental cell biology applications where reliable BAX detection is essential.
