Current opinion in genetics & development, 1998•ElsevierMembers of the Bcl-2 protein family fall into two categories on the basis of their ability to
either promote or suppress apoptosis. Recent findings have linked these proteins to
caspases, the cysteine proteases that effect the collapse of the cell via binding to CED-4. It
seems that Bcl-2 proteins influence cell survival by regulating the activation of key caspases.
