Description
Recognizes a protein of 27kDa, identified as the Bcl-X protein. This mAb shows no cross-reaction with Bcl-2 or Bax protein. Bcl-X has two isoforms, Bcl-XL (long), a 241 amino acid protein which suppresses cell death. And Bcl-XS (short), a 178 amino acid protein lacking a 63 amino acid domain which functions as a dominant inhibitor of Bcl-2. This mAb reacts with both Bcl-XS and Bcl-XL proteins
