Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Promotes cell survival. Blocks dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. Mediates survival of postmitotic Sertoli cells by suppressing death-promoting activity of BAX. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11784036, ECO:0000269PubMed:14746907, ECO:0000269PubMed:8761287}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Loosely associated with the mitochondrial membrane in healthy cells. During apoptosis, tightly bound to the membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in almost all myeloid cell lines and in a wide range of tissues, with highest levels in brain, colon, and salivary gland.
