Preparation and Storage

Background: HAX-1

HAX-1 (HCLS1-associated protein X-1; also HS1-binding protein1) is a 34‑35 kDa intracellular protein with structural similarity to Bcl-2 family proteins. It is ubiquitously expressed, and participates in a variety of cell-specific functions. HAX‑1 blocks cardiomyocyte apoptosis via caspase‑9 inhibition, downregulates conjugated bile acid secretion via BSEP binding, and via PKD2, transmitts integrin signals to the ER. Human HAX-1 is 279 amino acids (aa) in length and contains two Bcl-2 homology regions (aa 37‑56 and 74‑89), a PEST domain (aa 104‑117) and a potential transmembrane segment (aa 261‑279). HS-1 is found mostly in the mitochondria. HAX-1 is also cleaved by caspase-3 at Asp127. Over aa 2‑261, human HAX-1 shares 81% aa identity with mouse HAX-1.
