Summary: Enables BH domain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including apoptotic mitochondrial changes; male gonad development; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial envelope. Predicted to be part of Bcl-2 family protein complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia; breast cancer; colon cancer; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human BIK (BCL2 interacting killer).

What's a GeneRIF?

Long non-coding RNA TUG1 knockdown prevents neurons from death to alleviate acute spinal cord injury via the microRNA-338/BIK axis.
Title: Long non-coding RNA TUG1 knockdown prevents neurons from death to alleviate acute spinal cord injury via the microRNA-338/BIK axis.
OPN induces oxidative stress via the involvement of mitochondria and NOX-4. It may affect mitochondrial morphology and integrity, at least in part, via the involvement of BIK.

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.
