Bax is a key component for cellular induced apoptosis through mitochondrial stress. Upon apoptotic stimulation, Bax forms oligomers and translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane. Through
interactions with pore proteins on the mitochondrial membrane, Bax increases the membrane's permeability,
which leads to the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, activation of caspase-9 and initiation of the
caspase activation pathway for apoptosis.
