DescriptionAnti-Bcl-XL Antibody, NT, clone 7D9
Background InformationBcl-X consists of two isoforms, Bcl-XL (long), a 241 aa protein, and Bcl-XS (short), a 178 aa protein lacking a 63-aa domain that is well conserved among members of the Bcl-2 family. Bcl-XL represses cell death, while Bcl-XS favors cell death.Bcl-X has two isoforms, Bcl-XL (long) a 241 amino acid protein and Bcl-XS (short) a 178 amino acid protein lacking a 63 amino acid domain that is well conserved among members of the Bcl-2 family. Bcl-XL represses cell death, while Bcl-XS favors cell death.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL-2 protein family. BCL-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The proteins encoded by this gene are located at the outer mitochondrial membrane, and have been shown to regulate outer mitochondrial membrane channel (VDAC) opening. VDAC regulates mitochondrial membrane potential, and thus controls the production of reactive oxygen species and release of cytochrome C by mitochondria, both of which are the potent inducers of cell apoptosis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode distinct isoforms, have been reported. The longer isoform acts as an apoptotic inhibitor and the shorter form acts as an apoptotic activator.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q07817 # Potent inhibitor of cell death. Isoform Bcl-X(L) anti- apoptotic activity is inhibited by association with SIVA isoform 1. Inhibits activation of caspases (By similarity). Appears to regulate cell death by blocking the voltage-dependent anion channnel (VDAC) by binding to it and preventing the release of the caspase activator, cytochrome c, from the mitochondrial membrane. The Bcl-X(S) isoform promotes apoptosis.
SIZE: 233 amino acids; 26049 Da
SUBUNIT: Bcl-X(L) forms homodimers, and heterodimers with BAX, BAK and BCL2. Heterodimerization with BAX does not seem to be required for anti-apoptotic activity. Also interacts with BAD and BBC3. Isoform Bcl-X(L) binds to Siva isoform 1. Interacts with BCL2L11 (By similarity). Interacts with BECN1 and PGAM5.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Nucleus envelope; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side (By similarity). Note=Mitochondrial membranes and perinuclear envelope (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Bcl-X(S) is expressed at high levels in cells that undergo a high rate of turnover, such as developing lymphocytes. In contrast, Bcl-X(L) is found in tissues containing long-lived postmitotic cells, such as adult brain.
DOMAIN: SwissProt: Q07817 The BH4 motif is required for anti-apoptotic activity. The BH1 and BH2 motifs are required for both heterodimerization with other Bcl-2 family members and for repression of cell death.
PTM: Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. The cleaved protein, lacking the BH4 motif, has pro-apoptotic activity.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
