BNIP3 Antibody

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: BNIP3 Antibody [NBP1-77683] - BNIP3 antibody was tested in HeLa cells with FITC (green). Nuclei and actin were counterstained with Dapi (blue) and Phalloidin (red).

Immunohistochemistry: BNIP3 Antibody [NBP1-77683] - Analysis of BNIP3 in mouse kidney using DAB with hematoxylin counterstain.

Flow Cytometry: BNIP3 Antibody [NBP1-77683] - An intracellular stain was performed on PC12 cells with BNIP3 Antibody NBP1-77683F (blue) and a matched isotype control (orange). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and then permeabilized with 0.1% saponin. Cells were incubated in an antibody dilution of 10 ug/mL for 30 minutes at room temperature. Both antibodies were conjugated to FITC.

Background

BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kD protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) is a mitochondrial protein critical for apoptotic events in response to adenovirus infection. It has been implicated in causing a necrotic-like cell death pattern in cells, induced by CD47. This effect has been seen in many cancer cells, and its mis-regulation causes tumor cells to be impervious to normal autophagic events. The tumor suppressor p53 represses the expression of BNIP3, often as a consequence of hypoxic micro-environments as seen in tumors. When BNIP3 is correctly expressed and activated, it translocates to the mitochondria and instigates apoptosis.
