Bcl2蛋白修饰因子抗体

Bcl2蛋白修饰因子抗体 Background: The BH3-only proteins, which include Blk, Bad, Bik, Hrk, BID, Bim, NOXA, PUMA and Bmf, are proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. Bcl-2 modifying factor (Bmf) is a BH3-only protein that binds prosurvival Bcl-2 family members to initiate apoptosis. Bmf is sequestered to Myosin V motors on Actin in the cytoskeleton by associating with Dynein light chain 2 (DLC2) homodimers. If the cell undergoes loss of attachment (anoikis), the cytoskeleton is disrupted and Bmf is released from DLC2. Bmf then translocates to the mitochondria, where Bcl-2 (an anti-apoptotic family member) is sequestered. The BH3 domain of Bmf facilitates binding to a hydrophobic groove on the surface of Bcl-2. Binding results in a caspase cascade leading to apoptosis. Bmf is widely expressed in tissues such as pancreas, liver and kidney, and in hematopoietic tissues. The gene encoding Bmf maps to chromosome 15q14. Also known as: Bcl 2 modifying factor; Bcl-2-modifying factor; Bcl2 modifying factor; Bmf; BMF_HUMAN; FLJ00065.Bcl2蛋白修饰因子抗体
