ICC/IF image of ab7888 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7888, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899 Dylight 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Biological function summary
Bim regulates apoptosis by binding to pro-survival proteins like Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL releasing pro-apoptotic factors from mitochondria and activating caspases. Bim acts as part of the apoptosome complex and influences cell death regulation significantly. By promoting cytochrome c release from mitochondria Bim initiates a cascade of events leading to cell apoptosis. This regulation is vital in maintaining the balance between cell survival and death necessary for normal development and tissue homeostasis.
Pathways
Bim plays a critical role in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. This pathway involves mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization where Bim interacts with several Bcl-2 family proteins such as Bax and Bak to induce apoptosis. The modulation of Bim expression and activity is influenced by growth factor signaling pathways such as the PI3K-Akt pathway which affects Bim phosphorylation leading to its inactivation and subsequent degradation. Therefore Bim acts as an important node linking survival signals and apoptotic machinery.
