Gene:
apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF)-like mitochondrion-associated inducer of death
Gene ID:
199853
Symbol:
AMID
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene has significant homology to NADH oxidoreductases and the apoptosis-inducing factor PDCD8/AIF. Overexpression of this gene has been shown to induce apoptosis. The expression of this gene is found to be induced by tumor suppressor protein p53 in colon caner cells.
