Specifications
Host Species:
Rabbit
Species Reactivity:
Human
Homology:
Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Rat: (100%), Mouse: (100%), Chicken: (81%)
Immunogen:
BOK antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human BOK.
The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of BOK.
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Tested Applications:
ELISA, IHC-P
Application Note:
BOK antibody can be used for detection of BOK by immunohistochemistry at 5 μg/mL.
Antibody validated: Immunohistochemistry in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background:
BOK Antibody: Apoptosis plays a major role in normal organism development, tissue homeostasis, and removal of damaged cells. Disruption of this process has been implicated in a variety of diseases such as cancer. The Bcl-2 family of proteins is comprised of critical regulators of apoptosis that can be divided into two classes: those that inhibit apoptosis and those that promote cell death. BOK, a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member, was initially identified in the ovary, and was found to interact with other Bcl-2 family members such as Mcl-1 and Bfl-1. BOK expression is high during early placental development, suggesting that it may also play a role in regulating trophoblast cell proliferation.
