Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects bcl-2-related ovarian killer protein (gene BOK) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 23.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 27 kDa.
BOK is a Bcl-2 family protein with sequence similarity to BAX and BAK. It is found mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, and it can induce apoptosis through mitochondrial permeabilization; unlike BAX and BAK, its levels are controlled largely by ER-associated degradation.
