Target Details
- Target: Bcl2
- Target background: The pro-survival protein BCL2 derives its name from B-cell lymphoma 2, as it is the second member of a range of proteins initially described in chromosomal translocations involving chromosomes 14 and 18 in follicular lymphomas. There are two isoforms, alpha and beta, of Bcl-2 have been identified and are a result of alternative splicing at the C-terminus. BCL-2 protein is involved in apoptosis, and inhibits the function of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax and Bak. Damage to the Bcl-2 gene has been identified as a cause of a number of cancers, including melanoma, breast, prostate, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and lung cancer, and a possible cause of schizophrenia and autoimmunity. It is also a cause of resistance to cancer treatments. This antibody is a recombinant version of the anti BCL-2 monoclonal antibody This antibody recognises both the alpha and beta isoforms of BCL-2.
