An Autoinhibited Dimeric Form of BAX Regulates the BAX Activation Pathway [PDF]
Pro-apoptotic BAX is a cell fate regulator playing an important role in cellular homeostasis and pathological cell death. BAX is predominantly localized in the cytosol, where it has a quiescent monomer conformation. Following a pro-apoptotic trigger, cytosolic BAX is activated and translocates to the mitochondria to initiate mitochondrial dysfunction ...

Pharmacological inhibition of Bax-induced cell death: Bax-inhibiting peptides and small compounds inhibiting Bax [PDF]
Bax is an essential mediator of mitochondria-dependent programed cell death. Bax belongs to the Bcl-2 family of proteins and its activities are regulated through interaction with other member proteins in the Bcl-2 family. To date, several apoptosis-inducing drugs activating Bax have been developed, and some of them are already in the market as ...
