Bcl-2-like protein 2 is a 193-amino acid

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, who called it Bcl-w.[8]

Function

This gene encodes a pro-survival (anti-

BDNF-dependent neurons. Mutation and knockout studies of the mouse gene demonstrated an essential role in adult spermatogenesis.[6][9][7]

Clinical significance

High levels of Bcl-w are seen in many cancers, including

PARK2 gene have elevated Bcl-w.[7] Bcl-w has been shown to contribute to cellular senescence.[7]

Quercetin has been shown to inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway leading to downregulation of Bcl-w.[10][7]
