Specificity / Sensitivity

Bad (11E3) Rabbit mAb (IP Preferred) detects endogenous levels of total Bad protein.

Source / Purification

Rabbit monoclonal antibodies were prepared from spleens of rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ala107 of Bad.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from OVCAR8 (human), Neuro2A (mouse) and H4IIE (rat) cell lines using Bad (11E3) Rabbit mAb (IP Preferred).

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation/Western blot analysis of lysates from HeLa cells. Lane 1 contains lysate input (10%), lanes 2-4 were immunoprecipated with non-specific rabbit IgG, Bad (11E3) Rabbit mAb (IP Preferred) #9268, and Bad Antibody #9292, respectively. Western blot analysis was performed using Bad Antibody #9292.

Background

Bad is a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that promotes cell death by displacing Bax from binding to Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL (1,2). Survival factors, such as IL-3, inhibit the apoptotic activity of Bad by activating intracellular signaling pathways that result in the phosphorylation of Bad at Ser112 and Ser136 (2). Phosphorylation at these sites promotes binding of Bad to 14-3-3 protein to prevent an association between Bad and Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl (2). Akt phosphorylates Bad at Ser136 to promote cell survival (3,4). Bad is phosphorylated at Ser112 both in vivo and in vitro by p90RSK (5,6) and mitochondria-anchored PKA (7). Phosphorylation of Ser155 in the BH3 domain by PKA plays a critical role in blocking the dimerization of Bad and Bcl-xL (8-10).
