B cell lymphoma gene-2 (Bcl-2) is the prototypic member of a growing family of proteins that play evolutionarily conserved, key regulatory roles in apoptosis. The Bcl-2 family members are characterized by the presence of one or more Bcl-2 homology domains and are comprised of both the prosurvival an

## Abstract Bclβ2 family members are the arbiters of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, which is conserved through evolution. The stoichiometry of proβ versus antiapoptotic Bclβ2 family members in the cell determines whether the cell lives or dies. This fine balance is regulated at the transcriptiona
## Abstract Although it has been long recognized that the relative balance of proβ and antiapoptotic Bclβ2 proteins is critical in determining the susceptibility to apoptotic death, only a few studies have examined the level of these proteins specifically at mitochondria during postnatal brain deve
