Bim (bcl-2-interacting mediator of cell death) is a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that shares only the BH3 domain with this family. There are three isoforms of Bim: Bim_EL, Bim_L, and Bim_S. Bim is involved in regulating the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by inducing cytochrome c release, which in turn, activates caspase-9 and then caspase-3. Bim also plays a critical role in central and peripheral deletion of T lymphocytes and in controlling B cell homeostasis and activation. Bim_EL, the long isoform of Bim, is a ~28 kDa protein that is predominantly expressed in T and B cells and is activated by ERK1/2 pathway. The activation of Bim_EL by ERK1/2 promotes its phosphorylation on serine 65 (serine 69 in human), targeting it for degradation via the proteasome.

Rat Bim_EL when phosphorylated at serine 65. Human Bim_EL when phosphorylated at serine 69. Mouse Bim_EL (100% conserved) has not been tested, but is expected to react.

The antiserum was produced against a chemically synthesized phosphopeptide derived from the region of rat Bim_EL that contains serine 65 (serine 69 in the human sequence). The sequence is conserved in human and mouse.

For Western blotting applications, we recommend using the antibody at a 1:1000 dilution.
Anti-BimEL (pS69) human / (pS65) rat Antibody is an antibody against BimEL (pS69) human / (pS65) rat for use in WB.

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated Bim. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a Bim_EL-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at serine 65 (serine 69 in the human sequence).

Dulbecco′s phosphate buffered saline (without Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺), pH 7.3 (+/- 0.1), 50% glycerol, with 1.0 mg/mL BSA (IgG, protease free) as a carrier. 0.05% sodium azide

Control
Hek293T co-expressing rat Bim_EL and active MEKK1 (MEKK1δ).
