| description | Viral protein sharing sequence similarity with host BCL2 protein Cellular BCL2 family members are divided in two groups, some having anti-apoptotic activity (such as BCL2 itself) while others have pro- apoptotic function (such as BAX). If the level of proapoptotic members are higher than inhibitors, then the cell undergoes apoptosis. So far, all viral homologues display anti-apoptotic activity |
