Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis. BAX deficiency leads to lymphoid hyperplasia and male sterility, because of the cessation of sperm production (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Isoform Alpha: Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with 14-3-3 proteins in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes release from JNK-phosphorylated 14-3-3 proteins and translocation to the mitochondrion membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.Isoform Beta: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.Isoform Gamma: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
