BAP31 Antibody (CC-4) is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects BAP31 in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. BAP31 is a crucial integral membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum, where BAP31 plays a significant role in apoptosis regulation. BAP31 forms a protein complex that connects initiator caspases, such as procaspase-8, with anti-apoptotic proteins like Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, thereby influencing cell survival and death pathways. The cytosolic domain of BAP31 features two identical caspase recognition sites, which are specifically cleaved by initiator caspases during apoptosis, resulting in the generation of a p20 fragment that remains membrane-integrated and acts as a potent inducer of cell death when ectopically expressed. This cleavage is vital for triggering cytoplasmic apoptotic events, including membrane fragmentation, and facilitates the interaction between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum during Fas-mediated apoptosis. The BAP31 gene is widely expressed across murine tissues and is located on the X chromosome in both mice and humans, underscoring BAP31′s importance in cellular processes and potential implications in various diseases.
