What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Potent inhibitor of cell death. Inhibits activation of caspases. Appears to regulate cell death by blocking the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) by binding to it and preventing the release of the caspase activator, CYC1, from the mitochondrial membrane. Also acts as a regulator of G2 checkpoint and progression to cytokinesis during mitosis

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Interacts with BCL2L11 (By similarity). Interacts with BAD. Interacts with PGAM5. Interacts with HEBP2. Interacts with p53/TP53 and BBC3; interaction with BBC3 disrupts the interaction with p53/TP53. Interacts with ATP5F1A and ATP5F1B; the interactions mediate the association of isoform Bcl-X(L) with the mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase F(1)F(0) ATP synthase. Interacts with VDAC1…
