Facts about Bcl-2-like protein 11.
Isoform Bim-alpha1, isoform Bim-alpha2 and isoform Bim-alpha3 induce apoptosis, although less powerful than isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS. Isoform Bim-gamma induces apoptosis.

Isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS are the predominant isoforms and are widely expressed with tissue- specific variation. Isoform Bim-gamma is most abundantly expressed in small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in spleen, prostate, testis, heart, liver and kidney.
