Product Description

MA3-002 detects BAP31 from human, non-human primate, bovine, mouse and hamster samples. MA3-002 has been successfully used in Western blot, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent, and immunohistochemical procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 28-kDa protein corresponding to human BAP31. The MA3-002 antigen is solubilized protein from human neuroendocrine cell line IMR-32 corresponding to the C-terminal region residues 230-246 of BAP31 protein. This sequence is conserved in non-human primate, bovine and hamster species. BAP31 (B-Cell Receptor Associated Protein, 31-kDa) is a multiple membrane spanning protein of the endoplasmic reticulum. It has been shown to form both homo- and hetero-oligomers with the closely related BAP29, and is a potential apoptotic regulator as a predicted BCL-2/BCL-XL-associated protein. In the C-terminal domain of BAP31, there are two identical recognition sites for initiator Caspases 1 and 8 of the programmed death cascade. It is hypothesized that BAP31 plays a role in the transport of selected proteins to the Golgi apparatus. BAP31 has also been shown to control expression of CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator). It is believed that interference with the expression or function of BAP31 in epith
