Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It has become clear that, together with proliferation, deregulation of apoptosis plays a pivotal role in tumourigenesis. BAD is a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein and regulates the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Phosphorylation of BAD inhibits the apoptosis function of BAD. AIMS: To investigate whether alteration of the phospho-BAD protein and somatic mutation of BAD gene are characteristics of human...
