BAP31 Antibody (6D148) is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects BAP31 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). BAP31 is a crucial integral membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum, where BAP31 plays a significant role in apoptosis regulation by forming a protein complex that links initiator caspases, like procaspase-8, with anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. This interaction is vital for the apoptotic signaling pathway, as BAP31′s cytosolic domain contains two caspase recognition sites that are cleaved by initiator caspases, leading to the generation of a p20 fragment during apoptosis. This fragment remains embedded in the membrane and acts as a potent inducer of cell death when ectopically expressed. BAP31 cleavage is essential for the execution of cytoplasmic apoptotic events, including membrane fragmentation, and facilitates the communication between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum during Fas-mediated apoptosis. BAP31 is ubiquitously expressed across murine tissues and is located on the X chromosome in both mice and humans, highlighting BAP31′s importance in various biological processes and potential implications in disease states. Anti-BAP31 antibody (6D148) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying apoptosis and related signaling pathways.
