这个基因编码的蛋白质是bcl-2家族的一员。bcl-2家族成员是细胞程序性死亡的调节者。该蛋白通过与bcl-xl和bcl-2形成异二聚体，并逆转其死亡抑制活性，从而对细胞凋亡起到积极的调节作用。这种蛋白的促凋亡活性是通过磷酸化调节的。蛋白激酶akt和map激酶以及蛋白磷酸酶钙调磷酸酶参与了该蛋白的调节。该基因的选择性剪接导致两个转录变体编码相同的亚型。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the BCL-2 family. BCL-2 family members are known to be regulators of programmed cell death. This protein positively regulates cell apoptosis by forming heterodimers with BCL-xL and BCL-2, and reversing their death repressor activity. Proapoptotic activity of this protein is regulated through its phosphorylation. Protein kinases AKT and MAP kinase, as well as protein phosphatase calcineurin were found to be involved in the regulation of this protein. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
