General description

Apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 (UniProt P10417; also known as B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2) is encoded by the Bcl2 (also known as Bcl-2, AW986256, C430015F12Rik, D630044D05Rik, D830018M01Rik) gene (Gene ID 12043) in murine species. Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic and the founding member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that paly either a pro- or anti-apoptotic role in cell death signaling. BCL-2 family members are related by regions of sequence and structural homology. The pro-survival members contain four BCL-2 homology regions (BH1–BH4), whereas the BH3-only members contain only the BH3 amphipathic helix, which mediates their interaction with the groove of multi-domain BCL-2 family members. Human BCL2 gene mutatons are well known causes of many cancers, including melanoma, breast, prostate, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and lung cancer.
