Image 1 Description
Immunochemical staining of human BMF in human brain with rabbit polyclonal antibody at 1:100 dilution, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections.
BMF(Bcl2 modifying factor) belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. BMF contains a single BCL2 homology domain 3 (BH3), and has been shown to bind BCL2 proteins and function as an apoptotic activator. BMF is found to be sequestered to myosin V motors by its association with dynein light chain 2, which may be important for sensing intracellular damage and triggering apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
