Image / Experimental Information
Image 1 Description
Immunofluorescence staining of BAX in HeLa cells. Cells were fixed with 4% PFA,blocked with 10% serum, and incubated with rabbit anti-human BAX polyclonal antibody (1:1000) at 4℃ overnight. Then cells were stained with the Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (green). Positive staining was localized to cytoplasm and nucleus.
BCL2 associated X (BAX) is traditionally thought to be regulated by anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family members. BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX) is a critical apoptotic regulator that can be transformed from a cytosolic monomer into a lethal mitochondrial oligomer, The pro-apoptotic BCL-2 protein BAX commits human cells to apoptosis by permeabilizing the outer mitochondrial membrane. BAX activation has been suggested to require the separation of helix alpha5 from alpha6 - the 'latch' from the 'core' domain - among other conformational changes. BCL-2-associated X (BAX) protein acts as a gatekeeper in regulating mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Under cellular stress, BAX becomes activated and transforms into a lethal oligomer that causes mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP).
