Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Bcl-2 protein family. Bcl-2 Family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The protein encoded by this gene contains conserved BH4, BH1 and BH2 domains. This protein can interact with other members of Bcl-2 protein family including BCL2, BCL2L1/BCL-X(L), and Bax. Overexpression of this gene has been shown to suppress cell Apoptosis possibly through the prevention of cytochrome C release from the mitochondria, and thus activating Caspase-3 activation. The mouse counterpart of this protein is found to interact with Apaf1 and forms a protein complex with Caspase 9, which suggests the involvement of this protein in APAF1 and Caspase 9 related apoptotic pathway.
