  • General notes


    Bok (Bcl-2-related ovarian killer) is a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein identified in the ovary based on its dimerization with the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1. In addition to the Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains 1 and 2 and the transmembrane sequence, Bok also has a BH3 domain believed to be important for dimerization with selective anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and cell killing. Bok interacts strongly with some (Mcl-1, BHRF1, and Bfl-1) but not other (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bcl-w) anti-apoptotic members. In addition, cell killing induced by Bok was suppressed following coexpression with Mcl-1 and BHRF1, but not with Bcl-2, further indicating that Bok heterodimerized only with selective anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. Bok was highly expressed in the ovary, testis and uterus.

    Ab2304 is an antibody that we do not make in-house and instead source from another company. I have enquired with the supplier of ab2304 to see if it is an option for you to purchase it. As soon as I hear back from the supplier I will let you know.

    We recently purchased the Bok antibody (ab2304) the data sheet for it list the Immunogen for it as available upon request. We would like to request it. Do you have a part # for it?

    The immunogen is a.a. 41-61 of rat Bok.
