Gene information for BAD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID572
Official gene symbolBAD
Full nameBCL2-associated agonist of cell death
Aliases,BBC2,BCL2L8,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the BCL-2 family. BCL-2 family members are known to be regulators of programmed cell death. This protein positively regulates cell apoptosis by forming heterodimers with BCL-xL and BCL-2, and reversing their death repressor activity. Proapoptotic activity of this protein is regulated through its phosphorylation. Protein kinases AKT and MAP kinase, as well as protein phosphatase calcineurin were found to be involved in the regulation of this protein. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq]
