Anti-Bcl2A1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Bcl-2-related protein A1(BCL2A1), is the human homolog of the murine A1, and maps to chromosome 15q24.3. The BCL2A1 gene has also been referred to as BCL2L5, BFL1, and GRS. Bfl-1 protein suppresses apoptosis induced by the p53 tumor suppressor protein in a manner similar to other Bcl-2 family members such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and EBV-BHRF1. In addition, the bfl-I gene cooperates efficiently with the Ela oncogene in transformation of primary rodent epithelial cells. The human bfl-1 gene may play an important role in carcinogenesis. Protein function: Retards apoptosis induced by IL-3 deprivation. May function in the response of hemopoietic cells to external signals and in maintaining endothelial survival during infection. Can inhibit apoptosis induced by serum starvation in the mammary epithelial cell line HC11. [The UniProt Consortium]
