Product Specific Information

This peptide corresponds to 14 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human PUMA.
PEP-0127 can be used as a blocking peptide with polyclonal antibody PA5-20007.

Target Information

PUMA is one of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members including Bax and Noxa, which are also transcriptional targets of p53. The PUMA gene encodes two BH3 domain-containing proteins termed PUMA-a and PUMA-b. PUMA proteins bind Bcl-2, localize to the mitochondria, and induce cytochrome c release and apoptosis in response to p53.
PUMA may be a direct mediator of p53-induced apoptosis. Antisense inhibition of PUMA expression reduced the apoptotic response to p53, and PUMA is likely to play a role in mediating p53-induced cell death through the cytochrome c/Apaf-1-dependent pathway.
