FUNCTION: Promotes cell survival. Blocks dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. Mediates survival of postmitotic Sertoli cells by suppressing death-promoting activity of BAX. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity). Note=Loosely associated with the mitochondrial membrane in healthy cells. During apoptosis, tightly bound to the membrane (By similarity). ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=P70345-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=P70345-2; Sequence=VSP_014780; Note=Ref.4 (BAB28740) sequence is in conflict in position: 177:K->R; TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in almost all myeloid cell lines and in a wide range of tissues, with highest levels in brain, colon, and salivary gland. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in both mitotic and postmitotic Sertoli cells. INDUCTION: By Igf1. DOMAIN: The BH4 motif seems to be involved in the anti-apoptotic function. DOMAIN: The BH1 and BH2 motifs form a hydrophobic groove which acts as a docking site for the BH3 domain of some pro-apoptotic proteins. The C-terminal residues of BCL2L2 fold into the BH3- binding cleft and modulate pro-survival activity by regulating ligand access. When BH3 domain-containing proteins bind, they displace the C-terminus, allowing its insertion into the membrane and neutralizing the pro-survival activity of BCL2L2 (By similarity). DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice are sterile due to arrest in spermatogenesis associated with a gradual loss of germ and Sertoli cells from the testis. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
