Gene Type: protein_coding_gene
Location: Chr: 3 Mapping Details/Browsers
Description: Predicted to have channel activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; response to cadmium ion; and response to methylmercury. Predicted to localize to the mitochondrial outer membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia; colon adenocarcinoma; and precursor lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; eye; heart; immune system; and ovary. Orthologous to human BAX (BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator).
