BH3-only

In humans, the BH3-only subgroup consists of seven well-characterized proteins (for BID see Nomenclature). Contrary to cellular BCL-2 homologous proteins, these classical BH3-only proteins are evolutionarily unrelated to each other (i.e., they have not arisen from a common ancestor by gene duplication). In invertebrate species, there is only one well-characterized BH3-only protein: EGL-1 (encoded by the C. elegans genome).
