Patent AT-E400654-T1: [Translated] NEW MAMMAL GENE BC1-W, WHICH BELONGS TO THE BC1-2 FAMILY OF APOPTOSIS-CONTROLING GENES

Published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: September 07, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-06
The present invention is broadly directed to therapeutic molecules capable of inter alia modulating apoptosis in mammalian cells. The therapeutic molecules of the present invention encompass genetic sequences and chemical entities capable of regulating expression of a novel mammalian gene belonging to the bcl-2 family and which promotes cell survival. The therapeutic molecules of the present invention may have further utility in delaying cell cycle entry. In addition, the present invention extends to chemical entities capable of modulating activity and function of the translation product of said novel gene of the bcl-2 family. The present invention also extends to the translation product of the novel gene of the bcl-2 family and its use in, for example, therapy, diagnosis, antibody generation and as a screening tool for therapeutic molecules capable of modulating physiological cell death or survival and/or modulating cell cycle entry.
