Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: BAK1
  • Official Name: BCL2 antagonist/killer 1
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 578
  • UniProt: Q16611
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptosic process. Upon arrival of cell death signals, promotes mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization by oligomerizing to form pores within the MOM. This releases apoptogenic factors into the cytosol, including cytochrome c, promoting the activation of caspase 9 which in turn processes and activates the effector caspases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17157251, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8521816}.
