Domain The BH3 motif is intrinsically disordered. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23340338}.
Function Essential mediator of p53/TP53-dependent and p53/TP53- independent apoptosis. Functions by promoting partial unfolding of BCL2L1 and dissociation of BCL2L1 from p53/TP53. Regulates ER stress-induced neuronal apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23340338}.
Induction By DNA damage, glucocorticoid treatment, growth factor deprivation and p53. By ER stress in a DDIT3/CHOP-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11572983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22761832}.
Interaction P10415:BCL2; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-519884, EBI-77694; Q07817-1:BCL2L1; NbExp=7; IntAct=EBI-519884, EBI-287195; Q92843:BCL2L2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-519884, EBI-707714; Q07820:MCL1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-519884, EBI-1003422; P97287:Mcl1 (xeno); NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-519884, EBI-707292;
Similarity Belongs to the Bcl-2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11572983}. Note=Localized to the mitochondria in order to induce cytochrome c release.
Subunit Interacts with MCL1 and BCL2A1 (By similarity). Interacts with BCL2 and BCL2L1/BCL-XL. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23340338}.
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitously expressed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463391}.
