Target intelligence / Profile preview

Bcl-2 family protein (Bcl-2)

Target
Bcl-2
Molecular classification
Apoptosis regulator
01

Overview

The Bcl-2 family of proteins is a group of evolutionarily related regulators that control apoptosis and maintain the balance between cell survival and death. They are divided into anti-apoptotic, pro-apoptotic multidomain, and pro-apoptotic BH3-only subgroups. Their interactions determine cell fate, and dysregulation is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases.

Other names
BCL2B-cell lymphoma 2 protein
02

Mechanism of action

Inhibition of anti-apoptotic proteins or activation of pro-apoptotic proteins, leading to mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and caspase activation.
