General description

Bad (Bcl-2-antagonist of cell death), initially identified by its interaction with Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, is a distant Bcl-2 family member. Bad bears only the most universally conserved amino acids within BH1 and BH2 domains, and lacks the typical hydrophobic C-terminal signal anchor.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-21 of human Bad conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-Bad antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/mL

Biochem/physiol Actions

The protein encoded by this gene forms heterodimers with BCL-xL and BCL-2 and replaces Bax, which in turn inverts the death repressor activity of Bcl-xL and positively regulates cell apoptosis.Bad is phosphorylated on two serine residues embedded in canonical 14-3-3 binding sites in response to IL-3, a survival factor. Phosphorylated Bad does not bind Bcl-XL and is sequestered in the cytosol bound to 14-3-3, a specific phosphoserine-binding protein. The growth factors that promote cell survival activate the threonine kinase Akt, which phosphorylates Bad causing suppression of apoptosis.

Physical form

lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 5% trehalose

The BCL-2 family of proteins is comprised of proapoptotic as well as antiapoptotic members (S. N. Farrow and R. Brown, Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev. 6:45-49, 1996). A prominent death agonist, BAX, forms homodimers and heterodimerizes with multiple antiapoptotic members. Death

Mono‑unsaturated free fatty acids (FFAs) can serve as a predictive indicator of vascular restenosis following interventional therapy, particularly in individuals with high‑fat diet‑induced type 2 diabetes. However, the pathogenic mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the

To extend the mammalian cell death pathway, we screened for further Bcl-2 interacting proteins. Both yeast two-hybrid screening and lambda expression cloning identified a novel interacting protein, Bad, whose homology to Bcl-2 is limited to the BH1 and BH2 domains.

Cell, 74(4), 609-619 (1993-08-27)
Bcl-2 protein is able to repress a number of apoptotic death programs. To investigate the mechanism of Bcl-2's effect, we examined whether Bcl-2 interacted with other proteins. We identified an associated 21 kd protein partner, Bax, that has extensive amino
