Abstract excerpt
The bcl-2 oncogene was originally found in the translocation in a pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line. Since then a high expression of Bcl-2 has been found in many types of cancer. The bcl-2 gene encodes an intracellular membrane-associated protein. Overexpression of bcl-2 inhibits ap...
