WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Members in the Bcl-2 family are critical regulators of apoptosis by either inhibiting or promoting cell death.Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain is a potent death domain.BH3 domain containing pro-apoptotic proteins, including Bad, Bax, Bid, Bik, and Hrk, form a growing subclass of the Bcl-2 family.Bim is another BH3 domain containing protein which can induce apoptosis.Bim interacts with diverse members in the pro-survival Bcl-2 sub-family including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w.The messenger RNA of Bim is ubiquitously expressed in multiple tissues and cell lines. Synonyms: Bim (1C2C8).Bcl-2 interacting protein, Bcl-2-related ovarian death gene, BOD, Bcl-2-like 11
