Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 7936
Name Apoptosis regulator Bcl-2
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name BCL2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in regulation of apoptosis
Specific Function Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells. Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases. Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1)
