Apoptosis regulator BCL2
- Molecular classification
- Anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 family member
01
Overview
BCL2 is a key anti-apoptotic protein that regulates programmed cell death by controlling mitochondrial membrane permeability. It acts primarily as an inhibitor of apoptosis, promoting cell survival. Overexpression of BCL2 is frequently observed in various cancers, conferring resistance to apoptotic signals, making it a critical target in oncology research. BCL2 protein localizes mainly to the outer mitochondrial membrane, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and nuclear envelope/membrane.
