General description
This recombinant Bcl-w lacks the mitochondrial targeting sequence but maintains the ability to neutralize pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Like Bcl-2 and Bcl-x, the Bcl-w protein promotes cell survival, in contrast to other close homologues, Bax and Bak, which facilitate cell death. Bcl-w is an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that prevents release of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space into the cytosol. It is required for normal sperm maturation. Natural Bcl-w contains a C-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence.
Physical form
Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.1 M KCl, and 10% glycerol.
Analysis Note
Measured by its ability to inhibit caspase-8-cleaved human BID-mediated release of cytochrome c from isolated mouse liver mitochondria using ELISA.

Bcl-w, a prosurvival member of the Bcl-2 family, is essential for spermatogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which Bcl-w participates in the regulation of apoptosis in the testis are largely unknown. To explore the potential role of Bcl-w in the regulation

Small molecules that selectively kill senescent cells (SCs), termed senolytics, have the potential to prevent and treat various age-related diseases and extend healthspan. The use of Bcl-xl inhibitors as senolytics is largely limited by their on-target and dose-limiting platelet toxicity.

B-cell lymphoma extra large (BCL-XL) is a well-validated cancer target. However, the on-target and dose-limiting thrombocytopenia limits the use of BCL-XL inhibitors, such as ABT263, as safe and effective anticancer agents. To reduce the toxicity of ABT263, we converted it
