Preferred Label : BAD Regulation Pathway;
NCIt related terms : Regulation of BAD phosphorylation;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: The function of the pro-apoptotic molecule BAD is regulated by phosphorylation
of three sites (ser 112, 136, and 155). Phosphorylation at these sites results in
loss of the ability of BAD to heterodimerize with the survival proteins BCL-XL or
BCL-2. Phosphorylated BAD binds to 14-3-3 and is sequestered in the cytoplasm. While
ser-136 phosphorylation is concordant with the activation of Akt, Ser-112 phosphorylation
requires activation of the Ras-MAPK pathway. BAD Ser 155 was found to be a major site
of phosphorylation induced following stimulation by growth factors and prevented by
protein kinase A inhibitors. (This definition may be outdated - see the DesignNote.);
