1.A.21.1.1
Apoptosis regulator Bcl-X(L) of 233 aas.  Also called Bcl2-like protein 1, isoform 1. Membrane insertion of the soluble form has been characterized (Vargas-Uribe et al. 2013).  The cytosolic domain of Bcl-2 forms small pores in the mitochondrial outer membrane (Peng et al. 2009). The interaction of the C-terminal domain of Vaccinia-Related Kinase 2A (VRK2A) with the B-cell lymphoma-extra Large (Bcl-xL) plays an anti-apoptotic role in cancer (Puja et al. 2023).
