Bcl-2-like protein 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCL2L12 gene. [5] [6]

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Bcl-2 protein family. Bcl-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro- apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein contains a Bcl-2 homology domain 2 (BH2). The function of this gene has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [5]

Bcl2L12 expression is upregulated in most human glioblastomas. Expression of Bcl2L12 results in resistance to apoptosis. Bcl2L12 directly neutralizes caspase-7 ( CASP7) and indirectly neutralizes caspase-3 ( CASP3) by an indirect mechanism. [7] Both caspase enzymes are known to play essential roles in the execution phase of apoptosis. [8]
