Description

Exhibits protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process. Predicted to localize to mitochondrial outer membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; carcinoma (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); intracranial aneurysm; and prostate cancer. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior lateral mesoderm; corpuscles of Stannius; immature B cell; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human BCL2 (BCL2 apoptosis regulator).
