General description
Bcl-2-related protein A1 (BCL2A1), also known as protein BFL-1, protein GRS, and Bcl-2-like protein 5 (Bcl2-L-5), is a member of the Bcl-2 family. BCL2A1/BFL-1 can interact with Bax and suppress apoptosis by inhibiting the release of cytochrome c and caspase-3 activation. BCL2A1/BFL-1 is expressed in peripheral blood, spleen, bone marrow, lung, small intestine, and testis.
~20 kDa observed. Uncharacterized band(s) may appear in some lysates.
Immunogen
