May be involved in hypoxia-induced cell death of transformed cells implicating cytochrome C release and caspase activation (such as CASP9) and inducing mitochondrial permeability transition. May be involved in hypoxia-induced cell death of neuronal cells probably by promoting release of AIFM1 from mitochondria to cytoplasm and its translocation to the nucleus; however, the involvement of caspases has been reported conflictingly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15082785}. |DUF1075| |positive regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria| |neuron apoptotic process| |regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria| |neuron death| |activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |positive regulation of mitochondrion organization| |positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |positive regulation of endopeptidase activity| |positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway| |regulation of mitochondrion organization| |cellular response to hypoxia| |positive regulation of peptidase activity| |cellular response to decreased oxygen levels| |cellular response to oxygen levels| |regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |response to hypoxia| |response to decreased oxygen levels| |positive regulation of proteolysis| |response to oxygen levels| |regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway| |regulation of endopeptidase activity| |regulation of peptidase activity| |positive regulation of organelle organization| |positive regulation of apoptotic process| |positive regulation of programmed cell death| |positive regulation of cell death| |regulation of proteolysis| |positive regulation of hydrolase activity| |apoptotic process| |programmed cell death| |cell death| |response to abiotic stimulus| |positive regulation of cellular component organization| |mitochondrion| |regulation of hydrolase activity| |regulation of organelle organization| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |positive regulation of signal transduction| |regulation of cell death| |cellular response to stress| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |positive regulation of molecular function| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
