uniprot entry name :
BAX_RAT
specificity :
Bax [This mouse monoclonal antibody recognizes aa 12-24 of human, mouse, and rat Bax (20-22 kD), a member of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-associated proteins.]. This antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat Bax (20-22 kD), a member of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-associated proteins. Bax exerts a pro-apoptotic rather than an anti-apoptotic effect on cells. Bax targets mitochondrial membranes, inducing mitochondrial damage and cell death in a caspase-independent manner.

ncbi summary :
Bcl2-related gene; involved in the regulation of apoptotic cell death [RGD]
uniprot summary :
Function: Accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis. Subunit structure: Homodimer. Forms higher oligomers under stress conditions. Interacts with BCL2L11. Interaction with BCL2L11 promotes BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondrial membranes, with subsequent release of cytochrome c. Forms heterodimers with BCL2, E1B 19K protein, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2L2, MCL1 and A1. Interacts with SH3GLB1 and HN. Interacts with SFN and YWHAZ; the interaction occurs in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, JNK-mediated phosphorylation of SFN and YWHAZ, releases BAX to mitochondria. Interacts with RNF144B, which regulates the ubiquitin-dependent stability of BAX. Interacts with CLU under stress conditions that cause a conformation change leading to BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondria. Does not interact with CLU in unstressed cells. Subcellular location: Isoform Alpha: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. By similarity. Cytoplasm. By similarity. Note: Colocalizes with 14-3-3 proteins in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes release from JNK-phosphorylated 14-3-3 proteins and translocation to the mitochondrion membrane. By similarity.Isoform Beta: Cytoplasm. By similarity. Isoform Gamma: Cytoplasm. Tissue specificity: Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels in the testis and ovary. Domain: Intact BH3 motif is required by BIK, BID, BAK, BAD and BAX for their pro-apoptotic activity and for their interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
