BID Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His & GST) is expressed in E. coli expression system with His and GST tag. The predicted molecular weight is 50 kDa and the accession number is EDK99650.1.

Bid, BH3-interacting domain death agonist, was initially cloned based in its ability to interact with both Bcl-2 and Bax. Bid contains only the BH3 domain, which is required for its interaction with the Bcl-2 family proteins and for its pro-death activity. Bid is susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by caspases, calpains, Granzyme B and cathepsins. Bid is important to cell death mediated by these proteases and thus is the sentinel to protease-mediated death signals.
