Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

Application 
| WB, IP |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | Q92934 |
| Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | Polyclonal |
| Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Calculated MW | 18392 Da |
| Gene ID | 572 |
|---|---|
| Application & Usage | Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) and immunoprecipitation (20 µ/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects the 30 kDa Bcl-xL protein. It does not react with other Bcl-2 family members. |

| Target/Specificity | Bcl-xl |
| Antibody Form | Liquid |
| Appearance | Colorless liquid |
| Formulation | 100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified, rabbit anti-Bcl-xL polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal. |
| Handling | The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use. |
| Reconstitution & Storage | -20 °C |
| Background Descriptions | |
| Precautions | Bcl-xL Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | BAD |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | BBC6, BCL2L8 |
| Function | Promotes cell death. Successfully competes for the binding to Bcl-X(L), Bcl-2 and Bcl-W, thereby affecting the level of heterodimerization of these proteins with BAX. Can reverse the death repressor activity of Bcl-X(L), but not that of Bcl-2 (By similarity). Appears to act as a link between growth factor receptor signaling and the apoptotic pathways. |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion outer membrane. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61337}. Note=Colocalizes with HIF3A in the cytoplasm (By similarity). Upon phosphorylation, locates to the cytoplasm. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61337} |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in a wide variety of tissues. |

Background
Bcl-xL is a 30 kDa anti-apoptotic protein belonging to the Bcl-2 family. Bcl-xL prevents apoptosis thro µgh two different mechanisms: by heterodimerization with an apoptotic protein to inhibit its apoptotic effect, and by its direct pore-forming effect on the outer-membrane of mitochondria to help maintain a normal membrane state under stress conditions. Bcl-xL can be cleaved by caspases upon apoptotic activation, which converts Bcl-xL from an antiapoptotic protein to a proapoptotic cleavage product. The cleavage product of Bcl-xL forms cytochrome c-releasing pores in the mitochondrial membrane to facilitate the apoptosis signaling pathway.
