Anti-BCL2 like 11 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the BCL2L11 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 198 amino acid residues and a mass of 22.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Bcl-2 protein family, it is known to be involved with the apoptotic pathway and brain development. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include BIM, BOD, bcl-2-like protein 11, BCL2-like 11 (apoptosis facilitator), bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death, and BAM. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 850 citations in the literature describe the use of BCL2 like 11 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
