a Inverse relationship between BCL-xL and BAK proteins contributing to pancreatic specification. b Inhibition of BCL-xL leads to an indirect decrease in pancreatic and glycolytic gene expression due to the loss of more differentiated pancreatic progenitors that are more dependent on BCL-xL for survival.
