Anti-Bax (BCL2-associated X Protein, Apoptosis Regulator BAX, BAX Protein, Bcl-2-like Protein 4, BCL

Bax is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins which act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators. Bax forms a heterodimer with Bcl-2 and functions as an apoptotic activator by accelerating programmed cell death. Bax expression is regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 and has been shown to be involved in p53-mediated apoptosis. A number of Bax isoforms are produced from alternative splicing.
