BAG-1/RAP46/HAP1- Monocolnal

Description:
BAG-1 is excellent for biochemical applications. BAG-1 is a multifunctional protein that blocks apoptosis and interacts with several types of proteins, including Bcl-2 family proteins, the kinase Raf-1, certain tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors, and steroid hormone receptors.

Application:
- Immunoprecipitation (Denatured verified)(Use Protein G; Ab at 2µg/mg protein lysate)
- Western Blotting (Ab 1µg/ml for 2hrs at RT)
-THE OPTIMAL DILUTION SHOULD BE DETERMINED THE INDIVIDUAL LAB.
