One of the proteins critical to this process is Beclin-1, the mammalian orthologue of the yeast autophagy protein Apg6\/Vps30 (2). Beclin-1 can complement defects in yeast autophagy caused by loss of Apg6 and can also stimulate autophagy when overexpressed in mammalian cells (3). Mammalian Beclin-1 was originally isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen for Bcl-2 interacting proteins and has been shown to interact with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, but not with Bax or Bak (4). While Beclin-1 is generally ubiquitously expressed, research studies have shown it is monoallelically deleted in 40-75% of sporadic human breast and ovarian cancers (5). Beclin-1 is localized within cytoplasmic structures including the mitochondria, although overexpression of Beclin-1 reveals some nuclear staining and CRM1-dependent nuclear export (6). Investigators have demonstrated that Beclin-1 mice die early in embryogenesis and Beclin-1 mice have a high incidence of spontaneous tumors. Stem cells from the mice demonstrate an altered autophagic response, although responses to apoptosis appeared normal (7). Researchers have also found that overexpression of Beclin-1 in virally infected neurons resulted in significant protection against Sindbis virus-induced disease and neuronal apoptosis (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nATG6; ATG6 autophagy related 6 homolog; beclin 1; beclin 1 (coiled-coil, moesin-like BCL2 interacting protein); beclin 1 (coiled-coil, moesin-like BCL2-interacting protein); beclin 1, autophagy related; Beclin-1; Beclin-1-C 35 kDa; Beclin-1-C 37 kDa; beclin1; BECN1; Coiled-coil myosin-like BCL2-interacting protein; GT197; Protein GT197; testis secretory sperm-binding protein Li 215e; VPS30\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 60\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799424028841,"sku":"3495T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3495t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
