Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat cells treated with H2O2 (100 uM, 30 mins) (lane1) and Jurkat cells treated with Etoposide (25 uM, 60 mins) (lane2), using BID polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB18163). Peptide "+" means "peptide blocking".
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human brain tissue using BID polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB18163). Peptide "+" means "peptide blocking".
This gene encodes a death agonist that heterodimerizes with either agonist BAX or antagonist BCL2. The encoded protein is a member of the BCL-2 family of cell death regulators. It is a mediator of mitochondrial damage induced by caspase-8 (CASP8); CASP8 cleaves this encoded protein, and the COOH-terminal part translocates to mitochondria where it triggers cytochrome c release. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined. [provided by RefSeq
