Scientific Background: | Bax and Bak operate in both the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria as an essential gateway for selected apoptotic signals. A role for Bcl-2 at the ER has been suggested earlier as Bcl-2 may regulate calcium fluxes between the ER and the mitochondria. For a review on Ca2+ and its role in apoptosis. |
