Gene information for HRK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8739
Official gene symbolHRK
Full nameharakiri, BCL2 interacting protein (contains only BH3 domain)
Aliases,DP5,HARAKIRI,
Gene summaryActivator of apoptosis Hrk regulates apoptosis through interaction with death-repressor proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L). The HRK protein lacks significant homology to other BCL2 family members except for an 8-amino acid region that was similar to the BCL2 homology domain-3 (BH3) motif of BIK. HRK interacts with BCL2 and BCLXL via the BH3 domain, but not with the death-promoting BCL2-related proteins BAX, BAK, or BCLXS. HRK localizes to membranes of intracellular organelles in a pattern similar to that previously reported for BCL2 and BCLXL. [provided by RefSeq]
