---|---|
Primary Accession | P10415 |
Reactivity | Human, Mouse |
Host | Mouse |
Clonality | Monoclonal |
Clone Names | 8E12 |
Isotype | IgG1 |
Calculated MW | 26kDa |
Description | This gene encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells such as lymphocytes. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma.Tissue specificity: Expressed in a variety of tissues. |
Immunogen | Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding BCL-2, conjugated to KLH. |
Formulation | Ascitic fluid containing 0.03% sodium azide. |
Gene ID | 596 |

Other Names | Apoptosis regulator Bcl-2, BCL2 |
Dilution | FC~~1/200 - 1/400 IF~~1/200 - 1/1000 IHC~~1/500 - 1/2000 |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | BCL-2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | BCL2 |

Function | Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells (PubMed:1508712, PubMed:8183370). Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability (PubMed:11368354). Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases (PubMed:11368354). Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1) (PubMed:11368354). Also acts as an inhibitor of autophagy: interacts with BECN1 and AMBRA1 during non-starvation conditions and inhibits their autophagy function (PubMed:18570871, PubMed:20889974, PubMed:21358617). May attenuate inflammation by impairing NLRP1- inflammasome activation, hence CASP1 activation and IL1B release (PubMed:17418785). |
