Recombinant Human Bcl-xL Protein

Bcl-X, also named as BCL2L1 or BCL2L, belongs to the Bcl-2 family and it is encoded by the BCL2L1 gene in human. Alternative splicing of Bcl-X results in at least two isoforms, isoform Bcl-X(L) (also named as Bcl-xL) and isoform Bcl-x(S) (also named as Bcl-xS). Bcl-xL is found in tissues containing long-lived postmitotic cells, such as adult brain, while Bcl-xS is expressed at high levels in cells that undergo a high rate of turnover, such as developing lymphocytes. Bcl-X forms homodimer or heterodimer with other Bcl-2 proteins, like BAK, BAX or Bcl-2, to act as anti- or pro- apoptotic regulators. Bcl-xL appears to regulate cell death by blocking the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) by binding to it and preventing the release of the caspase activator, CYC1, from the mitochondrial membrane, and it also acts as a regulator of G2 checkpoint and progression to cytokinesis during mitosis. In contrast, Bcl-xS is a pro-apoptotic protein that promotes apoptosis.
