NCIt synonyms : BCL-Xs Protein; Bcl-XS; BCL2-Related Protein 1, Short Isoform; Bcl2-Related Protein, Short Isoform; BCL-X Short Isoform; BCL2-Like 1, Short Isoform; BCL2L1;
NCIt definition : Bcl-X(S) (170 aa, 19 kDa) is encoded by the human BCL2L1 gene. This protein plays
a role in the modulation of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : bcl-xS has been shown to inhibit the ability of bcl-2 and bcl-xL to enhance the survival
of cells.; Bcl-X(S) is an isoform of Bcl-2-like protein 1 that results from alternative splicing.;
