Bid BH3 (80-99) is a biologically active peptide known as a pro-apoptotic member of the 'BH3-only' (BOPS) subset within the BCL-2 protein family, pivotal in apoptosis regulation. It notably interacts with Bcl-2, Bax, and Bak, initiating their activation or inactivation, thus inducing cell death. Additionally, Bid translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane as part of its functional mechanism. The presence of Pyroglutamyl (pGlu) peptides, which can spontaneously arise from Glutamine (Q) or Glutamic acid (E) at the N-terminus of sequences, is a natural process. The hydrophobic γ-lactam ring of pGlu is theorized to enhance peptide stability, providing resistance to gastrointestinal proteases, making these peptides a recognized variant within peptide analyses, including HPLC purity assessments.
