About BCL2

Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 83.4), Thymus (RPKM 72.9) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables BH domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to peptide; response to purine-containing compound; and response to vitamin. Located in cytosol; mitochondrial crista; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study several diseases, including brain ischemia (multiple); end stage renal disease; gastric ulcer; intestinal disease (multiple); and status epilepticus. Biomarker of several diseases, including abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 1; brain disease (multiple); hypertension (multiple); intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); intracranial aneurysm; prostate cancer; and urinary bladder Cancer. Orthologous to human BCL2 (BCL2 Apoptosis regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
