MOAP1, 1-351aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Modulator of apoptosis 1, also known as MOAP1, belongs to the PNMA family and contains one BH3-like domain and one RASSF1-binding domain. It is required for death receptor-dependent apoptosis. MOAP1 homodimerizes and associates with the proapoptotic Bax and the prosurvival Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) of the Bcl-2 family in vitro and in vivo in mammalian cells. These data suggest that MOAP1 mediates apoptosis through a mechanism that involves binding to Bax. Recombinant human MOAP1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
