Steroid Hormones Induce bcl-X Gene Expression through Direct Activation of Distal Promoter P4
Bcl-X exists in at least five different isoforms with complex effects on programmed cell death. Glucocorticoids and progestins control bcl-X expression and influence the ratio between bcl-XL (antiapoptotic isoform) and bcl-XS (proapoptotic isoform) in different tissues. The 5′-UTR region of the mous...
