Navitoclax (ABT-263) is an Orally Active Bcl-2 Inhibitor for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research
Bcl-2 family proteins, known as B-cell lymphoma 2, are regulators of programmed cell death. Additionally, the bcl-2 family includes pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins. Anti-apoptotic proteins refer to Bcl-2, Bcl-x (L), Bcl-w, and Mcl-1. They block apoptosis by isolating pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak. Therefore, one of the main methods...
CYD-4-61 is a Bax Activator Used for Breast Cancer Research
Bax is an apoptosis regulator, belonging to the Bcl-2-like protein family. It controls mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Bax can promote apoptosis by forming a heterodimer with Bcl-2 to become a lethal mitochondrial pore protein. Specifically, it can induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeability, release cytochrome c, and cause programmed death...
CYD-2-11 is a Selective Bax Agonist for Breast and Lung Cancer Research
Bax, an important regulator of cell death is expressed in essentially all organs. Also, Bax is a member of B-cell lymphoma 2, it is involved in the apoptosis of normal and cancer cells. The mitochondrial pathway is the intrinsic pathway that leads to apoptosis. Importantly, activation of Bax induces...
GL0388 Activates Bax and Induce Bax-Mediated Apoptosis
Bax is a member of the bcl-2 gene family. Specifically, BCL2 family members are relevant to a variety of anti-apoptotic or pro-apoptotic regulators. The expression of this gene is regulated by the tumor suppressor gene p53. Besides, Bax interacts with mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel VDAC and induces its opening....
BTSA1 is a High Affinity and Orally Active BAX Activator
The BCL-2 family protein BAX is a central mediator of apoptosis. Besides, overexpression of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins contributes to tumor development and resistance to therapy by suppressing BAX and its activators. Cancer cells depend on their ability to enforce cell survival pathways and block cell death mechanisms. Moreover, pro-apoptotic...
MSN-125 is a Potent Bax and Bak Oligomerization Inhibitor
Aberrant apoptosis can lead to acute or chronic degenerative diseases. Apoptosis largely divides into two pathways ultimately leading to caspase activation and subsequent cellular disintegration. Extracellular signals activating death receptors triggers the extrinsic pathway, and intracellular stress activates the intrinsic pathway. It largely regulated at the mitochondrial outer membrane...
