Background InformationBcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer (UniProt: Q16611; also known as Apoptosis regulator BAK, Bcl-2-like protein 7, Bcl2-L-7) is encoded by the BAK1 (also known as BAK, BCL2L7, CDN1) gene (Gene ID:578) in human. BAK is a single-pass membrane protein of the Bcl-2 family that is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels displayed in heart and skeletal muscle. BAK plays a significant role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. In non-apoptotic cells, BAK constitutively resides in the mitochondrial outer membrane, but upon arrival of cell death signals, it promotes mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization by oligomerizing to form pores within the MOM and releases apoptogenic factors into the cytosol, including cytochrome c, promoting the activation of caspase 9. BAK contains three BH motifs (BH1: aa 117-136; BH2: aa 169-184; and BH3: aa 74-88) and intact BH3 motif is required by BIK, BID, BAD, and BAX for their pro-apoptotic activity and their interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. This antibody (clone 7D10) binds close to the alpha1 region in non-activated BAK to induce conformational change, oligomerization, and cytochrome c release. Its binding to BAK is shown to directly impact alpha1, but not alpha2 region. A short sequence (aa 51-55) is shown to be essential for binding of this antibody. (Ref.: Iyer, S., et al. (2016). Nature Commun. 7; 11734).
