The Bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) protein is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 gene family which is involved in initiating apoptosis. It does not contain a C-terminal transmembrane domain for outer mitochondrial membrane and nuclear envelope targeting, unlike most other members of the Bcl-2 family [1]. Pro-apoptotic activation of this protein occurs through phosphorylation[2]. After activation, it is able to form a heterodimer with anti-apoptotic proteins and prevent them from stopping apoptosis.

BAD is a member of the BH3-only family [3], a subfamily of the Bcl-2 family.

The Bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) protein is a member of the Bcl-2 gene family. Some members of this family are pro-apoptotic (e.g., Bax, Bak) while others are anti-apoptotic (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL). Bax/Bak are believed to initiate apoptosis by forming a pore in the mitochondrial outer membrane that allows cytochrome c to escape into the cytoplasm and activate the pro-apoptotic caspase cascade. The anti-apoptotic Bcl proteins inhibit cytochrome c release through the mitochondrial pore and also inhibit activation of the cytoplasmic caspase cascade by cytochrome c.[4]

BAD does not contain a C-terminal transmembrane domain for outer mitochondrial membrane and nuclear envelope targeting, unlike most other members of the Bcl-2 family [1]. BAD is a member of the BH3-only family [3], a subfamily of the Bcl-2 family.

Dephosphorylated BAD forms a heterodimer with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, inactivating them and thus allowing Bax/Bak-triggered apoptosis. On the other hand, BAD phosphorylation by Akt/protein kinase B (triggered by PIP3), causes formation of the BAD-(14-3-3)protein heterodimer. This leaves Bcl-2 free to inhibit Bax-triggered apoptosis.[5] BAD phosphorylation is thus anti-apoptotic, and BAD dephosphorylation (e.g., by Ca++-stimulated Calcineurin) is pro-apoptotic. The latter may be involved in neural diseases such as schizophrenia.[6]
