About Bax

Chromosome 7: 45,111,121-45,116,322 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001000.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 27 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in ovary adult (RPKM 2.8), placenta adult (RPKM 19.6) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables HSP70 protein binding activity; chaperone binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and mitochondrial outer membrane. Part of Bax complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia; ataxia telangiectasia; colon adenocarcinoma; colorectal cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human Bax (BCL2 associated X, Apoptosis regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
