Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Promotes apoptosis by activating caspases in the cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway. Acts by opposing the inhibitory activity of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP). Inhibits the activity of BIRC6/bruce by inhibiting its binding to caspases (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269PubMed:10929712}. Note=Released into the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highest expression found in heart, liver, kidney and testis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10929712}.
