Apoptosis Regulator BAX Cytoplasmic Isoform beta, Apoptosis Regulator BAX Membrane Isoform alpha, BAX Protein, Cytoplasmic Isoform delta, BAX Protein, Cytoplasmic Isoform gamma
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.
