mBID GST

SYNONYMS
BH3-interacting domain death agonist, p22 BID, BID, FP497, MGC15319, MGC42355.

INTRODUCTION
BID is a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein having only the BH3 domain. In reaction to apoptotic signaling, BID interacts with another Bcl-2 family of cell death regulators, called Bax, they form a heterodimer resulting to the insertion of Bax into the outer mitochondrial membrane. Bax induces the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel which lead to the release of cytochrome c and other pro-apoptotic factors from the mitochondria resulting in activation of caspases. BID is a mediator of mitochondrial damage induced by caspase-8 (CASP8). CASP8 cleaves BID, and the COOH-terminal part translocates to mitochondria where it triggers cytochrome c release. The major proteolytic product p15 BID releasea cytochrome c. Isoform 1, Isoform 2 and Isoform 4 induce ice-like proteases and apoptosis while Isoform 3 does not induce apoptosis.

DESCRIPTION
BID Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 1-195 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 48 kDa.
The Mouse BID is expressed as GST-Tag fusion protein and purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
