About Bak1

Chromosome 17: 27,238,784-27,247,983 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001010.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 135 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in large intestine adult (RPKM 19.5), duodenum adult (RPKM 17.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in cellular response to UV and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic signaling pathway; cellular calcium ion homeostasis; and lymphocyte apoptotic process. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and mitochondrial membrane. Is integral component of mitochondrial outer membrane. Part of Bak complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. 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]
