BID Protein, Human

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

BID Protein, Human expresses in E. coli. The BH3-only protein BID, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, was initially discovered through binding to both pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. BID is activated in the BCL-2-regulated or mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and acts as a switch between the extrinsic and intrinsic cell death pathways.

Biological Activity

Description

BID Protein, Human expresses in E. coli. The BH3-only protein BID, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, was initially discovered through binding to both pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. BID is activated in the BCL-2-regulated or mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and acts as a switch between the extrinsic and intrinsic cell death pathways[1].

Background

During apoptosis, Bid can be cleaved not only by caspase-8 during death receptor apoptotic signaling, but also by other caspases, granzyme B, calpains and cathepsins. Protease-cleaved Bid migrates to mitochondria where it induces permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane that is dependent on the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and/or Bak, and thus Bid acts as a sentinel for protease-mediated death signals[1].
