Apoptosis regulator Bax (UniProt: Q07812; also known as Bcl-2-like protein 4, Bcl2-L-4) is encoded by the BAX (also known as BCL2L4) gene (Gene ID: 581) in human. Bax is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. It displays extensive homology with Bcl-2 and is variably expressed in different cells, usually at very low concentrations in normal cells. Upon induction of apoptosis Bax undergoes a conformational change and translocates from cytosol to mitochondrial membrane. Bax forms homodimers as well as heterodimers with Bcl-2 through common binding motif and the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 determines the survival or death of cells during apoptosis. BAX is reported to interact with, and increase the opening of, the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), which leads to the loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been reported for this gene. Clone 6A7 reacts with multiple isoforms of Bax.
