BAX

Universal Cellular Machinery · Apoptosis & Programmed Cell Death

What helps decide whether a stressed cell survives?

BAX makes a protein that promotes apoptosis and interacts with survival-regulating proteins such as BCL2. The balance of these signals helps determine whether the cell proceeds toward controlled death.

Common Gene Name: BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator
NCBI Gene ID: 581
