Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Bax Apoptosis Regulator Protein
  • Bax Protein
  • bcl2 Associated X Protein
  • bcl2-Associated X Protein

Note

  • Don't confuse with the closely related BCL-X PROTEIN

Scope note

  • A member of the Bcl-2 protein family and homologous partner of C-BCL-2 PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN. It regulates the release of CYTOCHROME C and APOPTOSIS INDUCING FACTOR from the MITOCHONDRIA. Several isoforms of BCL2-associated X protein occur due to ALTERNATIVE SPLICING of the mRNA for this protein.

History note

  • 2006(1993)
