Gene information for BNIP3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID664
Official gene symbolBNIP3
Full nameBCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 3
Aliases,NIP3,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kd-interacting protein (BNIP) family. It interacts with the E1B 19 kDa protein which is responsible for the protection of virally-induced cell death, as well as E1B 19 kDa-like sequences of BCL2, also an apoptotic protector. This gene contains a BH3 domain and a transmembrane domain, which have been associated with pro-apoptotic function. The dimeric mitochondrial protein encoded by this gene is known to induce apoptosis, even in the presence of BCL2. [provided by RefSeq]
