b. spec. The action of putting a protective layer on to the underwater surface of a ship. Formerly also, the method or manner of doing this. E17.

proto-oncogene proteins c-bcl-2 (medicine)


proto-oncogene proteins c-bcl-2
Membrane proteins encoded by the bcl-2 genes and serving as a potent inhibitor of cell death by apoptosis. The proteins are found on mitochondrial, microsomal, and nuclear membrane sites within many cell types. Overexpression of bcl-2 proteins, due to a translocation of the gene, is associated with follicular lymphoma.
