Several lines of evidence indicate that, together with deregulated growth, alteration of apoptosis plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. PUMA, a pro-apoptotic member of Bcl-2 family, mediates p53-dependent and -independent apoptosis. BAD is also a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member and phosphorylation of BAD protein inhibits the pro-apoptosis function of BAD. To see whether the alteration of protein expressions...
