Also Known as Blk; Nbk; Biklk

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 12124

Summary

Predicted to enable BH domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic mitochondrial changes; male gonad development; and spermatogenesis. Located in mitochondrial envelope. Is expressed in heart; liver; lung; metanephros; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia; breast cancer; colon cancer; and prostate Cancer. Orthologous to human BIK (BCL2 interacting killer). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
