Comments
Bok is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that is the key regulator of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. It contains Bcl-2 Homology (BH) domains 1-3 and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. Bartholomeusz et al. showed that in the BH3 domain of Bok, there is a NES. LMB treatment or point mutations of the NES increased the nuclear accumulation and pro-apoptotic potency of Bok.

User Input
Accurate identification of NESs is difficult because many sequences in the genome match the NES consensus. Therefore, some published NESs may be mistakenly identified. Please help us improve the accuracy of NESdb by providing either a positive or negative flag for the NES in this entry. Supporting comments are required to process the flag.
