CST, 72168V2, FastScan™ Bax ELISA Kit

FastScan ELISA Kit for studying Bax in the research area. Protocol Available protocols: ELISA+ Specificity / Sensitivity The FastScan™ Bax ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of Bax, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species. Species Reactivity: Human Background Bax is a key component for cellular induced apoptosis through mitochondrial stress (1). Upon apoptotic stimulation, Bax forms oligomers and translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane (2). Through interactions with pore proteins on the mitochondrial membrane, Bax increases the membrane's permeability, which leads to the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, activation of caspase-9, and initiation of the caspase activation pathway for apoptosis (3,4).
