Description

reviewed

Proteins of the Bcl2 family regulate the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane for AIF and cytochrome c. This family of structurally related proteins consists of more than twenty members including bcl2 and bcl-x protooncogene products that can block apoptosis and tumor suppressor Bax that on the contrary can induce apoptosis.

reviewed

"BAX and BAK mediate p53-independent suppression of tumorigenesis. Thus, BAX and BAK function to suppress tumorigenesis, and their deficiency was selected for in vivo. ".
