Bcl2 antagonist of cell death (BAD) Human Recombinant full length protein expressed in E.coli, shows a 51 kDa band on SDS-PAGE(Icluding GST tag). The BAD protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
The Bcl-2 family of protein is characterized by its ability to modulate cell death under a broad range of physiologic conditions. Bcl-2 and several related proteins function to inhibit apoptosis while other members of the Bcl-2 family, such as Bax and Bak, enhance cell death under various conditions. Bad exhibits homology to Bcl-2 limited to the BH1, but not with Bax, Bcl-xS, Mcl-1, A1 or itself. In mammalian cells, Bad binds with greater affinity to Bcl-xL than to Bcl-2 and reverses the death repressor activity of Bcl-xL but not Bcl-2.
