Bcl-2 is a human proto-oncogene located chromosome 18. Its product is an integralmembrane protein (also called Bcl-2) located in the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), nuclearenvelope, and in the outer membranes of the mitochondria. The gene was discovered as the translocated locusin a B-cell leukemia (hence the name). This translocation is also found in some B-cell lymphomas. In thecancerous B cells, the portion of chromosome 18 containing the BCL-2 locus has undergone a reciprocaltranslocation with the portion of chromosome 14 containing the antibody heavy chain locus. This t(14;18)translocation places the BCL-2 gene close to the heavy chain gene enhancer. This enhancer is very active in Bcells and therefore results in high levels of Bcl-2 expression in these cells. High levels of the Bcl-2 protein protectthe cells from early death by apoptosis. The Bcl-2 protein suppresses apoptosis by preventing the activation ofthe caspases that carry out the process. It is conceived that introduction of the Bcl-2 gene into the cells of injuredtissue will reduce cell death and improve the clinical outcome of the injury
