Bcl2A1 Antibody

Bcl-2-related protein A1(BCL2A1), is the human homolog of the murine A1, and maps to chromosome 15q24.3. The BCL2A1 gene has also been referred to as BCL2L5, BFL1, and GRS. Bfl-1 protein suppresses apoptosis induced by the p53 tumor suppressor protein in a manner similar to other Bcl-2 family members such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and EBV-BHRF1. In addition, the bfl-I gene cooperates efficiently with the Ela oncogene in transformation of primary rodent epithelial cells. The human bfl-1 gene may play an important role in carcinogenesis.
