Entrez gene ID | | 638 |
Official gene symbol | | BIK |
Full name | | BCL2-interacting killer (apoptosis-inducing) |
Aliases | | ,BIP1,BP4,NBK, |
Gene summary | | The 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] |
