What is the effect of overexpressing Bcl2 in an animal cell? ("Overexpressing" means the cell produces large quantities of a protein, much more than it normally would.) Bcl2 overexpression triggers the degradation of cytochrome c in mitochondria. Bcl2 overexpression stimulates cell division. Bcl2 overexpression allows cell survival in the absence of survival factors. Bcl2 overexpression causes apoptosis.
