ABSTRACT:
Novel forms of mutant BAD polypeptides or fragments thereof having an amino acid substitution for serine-112 and/or serine-136 are provided along with their encoding polynucleotides. Also disclosed are methods for preparation of the mutant BAD polypeptides and methods for treating disease conditions involving decreased apoptosis.
