Summary: Enables several functions, including heat shock protein binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria; release of cytochrome c from mitochondria; and response to hydrogen peroxide. Predicted to be located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be part of BAK complex and pore complex. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Biomarker of intermittent claudication. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia and cervix carcinoma. Orthologous to human BAK1 (BCL2 antagonist/killer 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
