Beclin1

Manufactured by GenePharma
Sourced in China

Beclin1 is a protein involved in the regulation of autophagy, a cellular process that degrades and recycles damaged or unwanted cellular components. Beclin1 plays a crucial role in the initiation and formation of autophagosomes, which are the double-membrane vesicles that engulf the targeted cellular material for degradation. This protein is essential for the proper functioning of the autophagic pathway and has been studied extensively in the context of various biological processes and disease conditions.
