Gene:
BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 1
Gene ID:
190712
Symbol:
BNIP1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene is a member of the BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kd-interacting protein (BNIP) family. It interacts with the E1B 19 kDa protein which is responsible for the protection of virally-induced cell death, as well as E1B 19 kDa-like sequences of BCL2, also an apoptotic protector. Alternative splicing of this gene results in four products of unknown function.
