Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
Noxa (D8L7U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Noxa protein. This antibody also cross-reacts with multiple unidentified proteins, most notably at 35, 50, and 80 kDa.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human Noxa protein.
Background
Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced protein 1 (PMAIP1, Noxa) is a small protein that plays a key role in mediating apoptotic signaling. Noxa is a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein that contains a single Bcl-2 homology (BH3) domain (1). Members of the "BH3-only" family (e.g., Noxa, Bad, Bim, Puma, Bid, Bik, and Hrk) are highly regulated proteins that induce apoptosis through BH3-dependent interaction with anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins (2). Noxa localizes to mitochondria and binds the anti-apoptotic proteins Mcl-1 and A1/Bfl-1, but does not bind to Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL (3). The Noxa protein competes with Mcl-1 for binding to mitochondrial Bak protein. Noxa was originally identified as a phorbol ester inducible protein that is highly expressed in adult T-cell leukemia cell lines (4). Several different stimuli, including DNA damage, hypoxia, interferon, viral infection, and double-stranded RNA, induce Noxa expression in cells. Higher levels of Noxa protein are typically found in hematopoietic cells (3,5,6).
