Bcl-xL promotes metastasis independent of its anti-apoptotic activity

Bcl-xL is an anti-apoptotic protein that has also been implicated in metastasis. In this study, the authors show that nuclear Bcl-xL promotes metastasis by regulating TGFβ signaling, which is independent of the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-xL.
