Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Bcl-xL (54H6) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Bcl-xL protein. The antibody does not cross-react with other Bcl-2 family members.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Asp61 of human Bcl-xL.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat and HeLa (human), COS (monkey), NIH/3T3 and L929 (mouse), and PC12 and C6 (rat) cells, using Bcl-xL (54H6) Rabbit mAb.

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of Bcl-xL from Jurkat cell extracts, using Bcl-xL (54H6) Rabbit mAb. Lane 1 is the lysate control, lane 2 is antibody alone and lane 3 is antibody plus lysate.

Background

Bcl-xL prevents apoptosis through two different mechanisms: by heterodimerization with an apoptotic protein to inhibit its apoptotic effect (1,2), and by its direct pore-forming effect on the outer membrane of mitochondria which helps maintain a normal membrane state under stress conditions (3). Bcl-xL is phosphorylated by JNK following treatment with microtubule-damaging agents such as paclitaxel, vinblastine and nocodazole (4,5).
