Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells. Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases. Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1).Nencioni L, et al.

Host
Rabbit
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of serine 87 (A-L-S(p)-P-V) derived from Human BCL-2.
Involvement In Disease
A chromosomal aberration involving BCL2 has been found in chronic lymphatic leukemia. Translocation t(14;18)(q32;q21) with immunoglobulin gene regions. BCL2 mutations found in non-Hodgkin lymphomas carrying the chromosomal translocation could be attributed to the Ig somatic hypermutation mechanism resulting in nucleotide transitions.

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of BCL-2 only when phosphorylated at serine 87.

May attenuate inflammation by impairing NLRP1-inflammasome activation, hence CASP1 activation and IL1B release

Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
