Moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining in several lymphomas, melanomas, lung, breast, endometrial, skin, renal and pancreatic cancers. Most other cancers tissues were negative. Subsets of immune cells showed strong cytoplasmic staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
BCL2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
Bcl-2, PPP1R50
Description
B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells such as lymphocytes. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma. Two transcript variants, produced by alternate splicing, differ in their C-terminal ends. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
