BCL2L2
Bcl-2-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCL2L2 gene.[3][4] It was originally discovered by Leonie Gibson, Suzanne Cory and colleagues at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, who called it Bcl-w.[5]
Function
This gene encodes a pro-survival (anti-apoptotic) member of the bcl-2 protein family. The proteins of this family form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- and pro-apoptotic regulators. Expression of this gene in cells has been shown to contribute to reduced cell apoptosis under cytotoxic conditions. Studies of the related gene in mice indicated a role in the survival of NGF- and BDNF-dependent neurons. Mutation and knockout studies of the mouse gene demonstrated an essential role in adult spermatogenesis.[4]
Relative to its Bcl-2 counterparts there is considerably less data on this particular protein. Located on chromosome 14q11 it appears to be redundant in most tissues apart from specific examples.
