Cases of colorectal and ovarian cancers as well as one case of malignant carcinoid showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining tumors were generally negative.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. Overexpression of this gene has been shown to induce apoptosis in cells. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two distinct isoforms have been reported for this gene.
