Gene information for BIK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID638
Official gene symbolBIK
Full nameBCL2-interacting killer (apoptosis-inducing)
Aliases,BIP1,BP4,NBK,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is known to interact with cellular and viral survival-promoting proteins, such as BCL2 and the Epstein-Barr virus in order to enhance programed cell death. Because its activity is suppressed in the presence of survival-promoting proteins, this protein is suggested as a likely target for antiapoptotic proteins. This protein shares a critical BH3 domain with other death-promoting proteins, BAX and BAK. [provided by RefSeq]
