Summary: Enables protein homodimerization activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process by cytochrome c; ion homeostasis; and regulation of programmed cell death. Acts upstream of or within neuron apoptotic process. Located in several cellular components, including bounding membrane of organelle; mitochondrial membrane; and trans-Golgi network membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; gut; retina; and vibrissa dermal component. Orthologous to human BOK (BCL2 family apoptosis regulator BOK).

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.
