BCL6 is a regulator of SOCS2, so less BCL6 leads to less SOCS2. At normal levels, this allows BCL6 to control how much SOCS2 is expressed, and therefore, how much IGF1 is made.

A protein called B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) could be key to maintaining healthy muscle mass, and potentially could be used to combat muscle wasting conditions in humans, a study in mice suggests.

Maintaining muscle mass is crucial for health, and researchers have identified the protein BCL6 as vital for this. Studies reveal GLP-1 medications for weight loss can cause muscle loss ...
