Comment typeDescription
Alternative Products Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q16548-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q16548-2; Sequence=VSP_043106;
Function Retards apoptosis induced by IL-3 deprivation. May function in the response of hemopoietic cells to external signals and in maintaining endothelial survival during infection (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Induction By phorbol ester and inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF or IL1B/interleukin-1 beta, but not by growth factors.
Similarity Belongs to the Bcl-2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm.
Subunit Interacts directly with BAK1, BID, BMF and BBC3 (By similarity). Interacts directly with BCL2L11/BIM. Interacts with BAX isoform Sigma. Interacts directly with PMAIP1. Interacts with BOP/C22orf29. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10772918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18812174, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23055042, ECO:0000269|Ref.13, ECO:0000269|Ref.14}.
Tissue Specificity Seems to be restricted to the hematopoietic compartment. Expressed in peripheral blood, spleen, and bone marrow, at moderate levels in lung, small intestine and testis, at a minimal levels in other tissues. Also found in vascular smooth muscle cells and hematopoietic malignancies.
