The Bcl-2 family consists of a number of evolutionarily-conserved proteins that share Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains. And it is most notable for their regulation of apoptosis, a form of programmed…
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),…
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…
Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) and Bcl-xL (B-cell lymphoma-extra large) are members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. BCL-2 is localized to the outer membrane of mitochondria, where it plays an important…
Bcl-2 protein family is a key regulator of apoptosis and a marker of B-cell lymphoma. Importantly, apoptosis is an important physiological process of selective cell clearance, involving a variety of…
Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) is a family of evolutionarily related proteins. These proteins govern mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) and can be either pro-apoptotic (Bax, Bad, Bak and Bok among…
BCL-XL is a member of the Bcl-2 protein family and a transmembrane molecule in mitochondria. Specifically, it acts as an anti-apoptotic protein by blocking the release of mitochondrial contents such…
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, accounting for more than 80% of dementia cases worldwide. AD leads to the progressive loss of mental capacity and…
Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL are critical regulators of apoptosis. The pharmacological inhibition of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL represents a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In addition, BM-1197 is a potent and efficacious…
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…
