Gene information for BMF (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID90427
Official gene symbolBMF
Full nameBcl2 modifying factor
Aliases,FLJ00065,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein contains a single BCL2 homology domain 3 (BH3), and has been shown to bind BCL2 proteins and function as an apoptotic activator. This protein is found to be sequestered to myosin V motors by its association with dynein light chain 2, which may be important for sensing intracellular damage and triggering apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
