Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is found predominately in the cytoplasm, where it plays a role in the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) prior to necrotic cell death. The encoded protein enhances outer and inner mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, especially under conditions of oxidative stress. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016].
- UniProt Summary: Can promote mitochondrial permeability transition and facilitate necrotic cell death under different types of stress conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17098234}.
