methotrexate / BAX Cancer Research Results

MTX, methotrexate: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication that has been used to treat various types of cancer.
Methotrexate works by:
Inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR): Methotrexate binds to DHFR, an enzyme that is necessary for the production of tetrahydrofolate, a co-factor for DNA synthesis.
Interfering with DNA synthesis: By inhibiting DHFR, methotrexate prevents the production of tetrahydrofolate, which is necessary for DNA synthesis.
Inducing apoptosis: Methotrexate can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells.
BAX, Apoptosis regulator BAX: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Proapototic protein
BAX is a member of the Bcl-2 gene family.
Pro-apoptotic protein that forms heterodimers with anti-apoptotic BCL2 proteins; involved in various cellular activities and regulated by p53; mediates the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.
