The Expression of BCL-G in Leukemia and Gastrointestinal Tissues

The Expression of BCL-G in Leukemia and Gastrointestinal Tissues

BCL-G is a novel protein of Bax (BCL-G associated protein X) inducing caspase-mediated apoptosis. These proteins are involved in regulating apoptosis both in normal, and in neoplastic cells although their cellular and tissue distribution is currently unknown. Accordingly, the objective of the current study was to ascertain and define the pattern of distribution and expression of BCL-G in normal and malignant gastrointestinal human tissues.
