Record overview

MITO IDMT000085
Gene ID638
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene NameBCL2-interacting killer (apoptosis-inducing)
Gene SymbolBIK
SynonymsBP4; NBK; BIP1;
Alternate namesbcl-2-interacting killer; apoptosis inducer NBK; apoptosis-inducing NBK;
Chromosome22
Map Location22q13.31
SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene shares a critical BH3 domain with other death-promoting proteins, such as BID, BAK, BAD and BAX, that is required for its pro-apoptotic activity, and for interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 family, and viral survival-promoting proteins. Since the activity of this protein is suppressed in the presence of survival-promoting proteins, it is suggested as a likely target for anti-apoptotic proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
