Molecular Weight (kDa)	20
Source/Isotype	Rabbit
Application/Dilution	{Western Blotting: 1:1000}
Storage	Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Specificity/Sensitivity	Bik Antibody detects endogenous levels of Bik protein. It does not cross-react with other Bcl-2 family members.
Species Reactivity	Human
Source/Purification	Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in the amino-terminus of Bik. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background	Bik/Nbk (Bcl-2-interacting killer/natural born killer) is a potent pro-apoptotic protein belonging to a group of Bcl-2 family members that includes Bad, Bid, Bim, Hrk, and Noxa, containing a BH3 domain but lacking other conserved domains, BH1 or BH2 (1,2). Functionally, Bik is able to bind to and antagonize anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and viral homologs E1B-19K and EBV-BHFR1. The BH3 domain of Bik is essential for its apoptotic activity and interaction with survival proteins (3). Phosphorylation of Bik is correlated with an increase in its pro-apoptotic activity (4).
