Background	Bax-beta is encoded by a 1.5 kb RNA species created by the retention of intron 5 in the bax mRNA transcript. The exon4/intron5 splice junction is evolutionarily conserved and is found in both the human and mouse bax coding regions. The 630 bp intron 5 contributes 60 amino acids to the Bax-beta protein before a stop codon is encountered during translation. The Bax-beta protein is 24 kDa in size and although it contains the BH1, BH2, and BH3 domains identical to Bax, it has a unique carboxyl terminus and does not have a hydrophobic transmembrane domain (Oltvai et al., 1993). Bax-beta mRNA has been found in many mouse tissues using RT-PCR. It is found co-expressed with Bax-alpha in lung, stomach, kidney, thymus, lymph node, bone marrow, pancreas, and spleen. Bax-beta mRNA was very abundant in brain and duodenum with almost no Bax-alpha mRNA detected in these tissues (Oltvai et al., 1993).
Synonyms	Apoptosis regulator BAX, BCL2L4, Bcl2-L-4
