Target description

Bcl2-associated agonist of cell death (UniProt: Q92934; also known as BAD, Bcl-2-binding component 6, Bcl-2-like protein 8, Bcl2-L-8, Bcl-xL/Bcl-2-associated death promoter, Bcl2 antagonist of cell death) is encoded by the BAD (also known as BBC6, BCL2L8) gene (Gene ID: 572) in human. BAD is BH3-only pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that lacks the C-terminal transmembrane domain for outer mitochondrial membrane and nuclear targeting. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues. Following its activation, it forms heterodimers with anti-apoptotic members and prevents them from blocking apoptosis. It is reported to form heterodimers with Bcl-X(L), Bcl-2,and Bcl-W and promotes cell death. It is also reported to link survival signals to mitochondrial apoptotic machinery and its activity is regulated by survival growth signals. BAD can undergo phosphorylation on serine 75, 99, 118, and 134 in response to survival stimuli, which blocks its pro-apoptotic activity. Phosphorylation on serine 99 and 75 are also known to promote its heterodimerization with 14-3-3 proteins. Phosphorylated BAD is trapped by 14-3-3 and sequestered in the cytosol, however, once it is unphosphorylated, it translocates to the mitochondria to release cytochrome c. The interaction of BAD and 14-3-3 facilitates the phosphorylation at serine 118, a site localized within the BH3 motif (aa 110-124). This leads to the release of Bcl-X(L) and the promotion of cell survival. Serine 99 is shown to be the major site phosphorylated by Akt and serine 118 is mainly phosphorylated by protein kinase A. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
