    Product Information

    Product Description

    The FastScan™ Bax ELISA Kit is a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of Bax. To perform the assay, sample is incubated with a capture antibody conjugated with a proprietary tag and a second detection antibody linked to HRP, forming a sandwich with Bax in solution. This entire complex is immobilized to the plate via an anti-tag antibody. The wells are then washed to remove unbound material. TMB is then added. The magnitude of observed signal is proportional to the quantity of Bax.

    *Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

    IMPORTANT: This FastScan™ ELISA Kit requires 4 washes at Step 6 of the protocol.

    Protocol

    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).
