About Bak1

Primary_assembly 20: 5,100,480-5,109,264 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026993.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 135 orthologues, 13 paralogues and is associated with 15 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 137.4), Spleen (RPKM 16.9) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including chaperone binding activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria; and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Located in cytosol; membrane; and mitochondrion. Biomarker of intermittent claudication. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia and cervix carcinoma. Orthologous to human BAK1 (BCL2 antagonist/killer 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
