Summary: Enables several functions, including chaperone binding activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria; and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Located in cytosol; membrane; and mitochondrion. Biomarker of intermittent claudication. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia and cervix carcinoma. Orthologous to human BAK1 (BCL2 antagonist/killer 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
