This gene encodes a pro-survival (anti-[[apoptosis|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 [[cytotoxicity|cytotoxic]] conditions. Studies of the related gene in mice indicated a role in the survival of [[Nerve growth factor|NGF]]- and [[BDNF]]-dependent neurons. Mutation and knockout studies of the mouse gene demonstrated an essential role in adult [[spermatogenesis]].<ref name="entrez"/>

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.

Bcl-2-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCL2L2 gene.[1][2] 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.[3]

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.[2]

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.
