Entrez Summary: This gene is specifically expressed in the thymus, and encodes a protein that is localized to the mitochondrion. The expression of this gene is inducible by p53, and it is thought to play an important role in mediating p53-dependent apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011].
UniProt Summary: May play an important role in mediating p53/TP53- dependent apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11030628}.
