For the precise and reliable visualization of BAK, this IHC kit offers a complete set of ready-to-use reagents and an optimized protocol for consistent and accurate staining.
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is part of the BCL2 protein family, which regulates apoptosis. BCL2 family members can form oligomers or heterodimers that either promote or inhibit apoptosis. This protein localizes to mitochondria and induces apoptosis by interacting with and accelerating the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, leading to membrane potential loss and cytochrome c release. It also interacts with tumor suppressor P53 following cellular stress.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
