MeSH Heading: bcl-2-Associated X Protein
Tree Number(s): D12.644.360.075.718.400; D12.776.476.075.718.400
Unique ID: D051028
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D051028
Annotation: 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.
Entry Term(s): Bax Apoptosis Regulator Protein; Bax Protein; Bax-alpha Protein; Bax-beta Protein; Bax-delta Protein; Bax-omega Protein; Bax-sigma Protein; bcl2-Associated X Protein; bcl2-Associated X Protein Isoform alpha; bcl2-Associated X Protein Isoform beta; bcl2-Associated X Protein Isoform delta; bcl2-Associated X Protein Isoform omega; bcl2-Associated X Protein Isoform sigma
