Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced protein 1 (Pmaip1), a BCL-2 protein is essential to apoptosis, regeneration and disease pathways (Morsi et al., 2018).In an animal model of myocardial infarction/reperfusion, Pmaip1 and BimEL protein levels were elevated after 3 hours of reperfusion. This evidence concerns the gene BCL2 and myocardial infarction.
