Anti-Apoptotic Protein Expression
- Molecular classification
- BCL-2 Family, Protein
01
Overview
Anti-apoptotic protein expression refers to the cellular production of proteins that inhibit apoptosis, the programmed cell death process. These proteins, primarily from the BCL-2 family (BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1, A1/BFL-1, BCL-W), are crucial for cell survival by blocking pro-apoptotic signals and pathways, preventing mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), and inhibiting caspase activation. Dysregulation or overexpression is implicated in cancer and drug resistance, making them important therapeutic targets.
