BCL2 Like 1 (BCL2L1) Antibody

Background

BCL2 like 1 (BCL2L1), also known as BCL-XL, is a well-known anti-apoptotic protein that regulates cell survival by preventing mitochondrial apoptosis BCL2L1 is part of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, which includes both pro- and anti-apoptotic members, and it plays a crucial role in inhibiting the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, thus blocking caspase activation and preventing apoptosis BCL2L1 is highly expressed in various cell types, including immune cells, neurons, and cancer cells, where it supports cell survival and promotes tissue homeostasis Dysregulation of BCL2L1 has been associated with cancer, where its overexpression protects tumor cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and promotes tumor progression In addition to its role in cancer, BCL2L1 is involved in regulating immune responses and neuronal function, particularly in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Recent studies also highlight its importance in cell metabolism, autophagy, and inflammation, further emphasizing its role as a critical regulator of cellular fate and survival
