Puma BH3 Domain Antibody
Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Pab)

Catalog # Source: Lot # Size:
AP1317a Rabbit SH021015I 0.1 mg
Concentration: Accession: Clone Name: Isotype:
0.25 mg/ml NP_055232, Q9BXH1 RB1353 Rabbit Ig
Applications: Reactivity: MW (kDa):
WB, IHC, E H, M 20532 Da
Target/Specificity:
This antibody was developed against a synthetic peptide selected from the C-terminal region of human Puma.
Other Names:
Bcl-2-binding component 3; p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis; JFY-1; BBC3
Application Data:

Western blot analysis of anti-Puma BH3 domain Pab (Cat. #AP1317a) in HL-60 cell lysate. Puma BH3 domain (arrow) was detected using purified Pab. Secondary HRP-anti-rabbit was used for signal visualization with chemiluminescence.

(TOP) Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma. (BUTTOM) Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma tissue reacted with Puma BH3 Domain antibody (Cat.#AP1317a), which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.

Background:
PUMA is one of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members including Bax and Noxa, which are also transcriptional targets of p53. The PUMA gene encodes two BH3 domain-containing proteins termed PUMA-a and PUMA-b. PUMA proteins bind Bcl-2, localize to the mitochondria, and induce cytochrome c release and apoptosis in response to p53. PUMA may be a direct mediator of p53-induced apoptosis.
