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.

L'invention porte, pour l'essentiel, sur des molécules thérapeutiques susceptibles, notamment, de moduler l'apoptose dans des cellules de mammifères. Les molécules thérapeutiques faisant l'objet de l'invention comprennent des séquences génétiques et des entités chimiques susceptibles de réguler l'expression d'un nouveau gène de mammifère appartenant à la famille bcl-2, qui favorise la survie des cellules. Les molécules thérapeutiques en question peuvent être également utiles du fait qu'elles retardent l'entrée dans le cycle cellulaire. L'invention s'étend à des entités chimiques susceptibles de moduler l'activité et la fonction du produit de traduction dudit nouveau gène appartenant à la famille bcl-2. Elle s'étend également au produit de traduction du nouveau gène appartenant à la famille bcl-2 et à son utilisation, par exemple pour la thérapie, le diagnostic et la production d'anticorps et comme outil de criblage de molécules thérapeutiques susceptibles de moduler la mort ou la survie physiologique de cellules et/ou l'entrée dans le cycle cellulaire.
