PMAIP1 phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced protein 1

Gene ID: 5366, updated on 23-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: APR; NOXA

Summary

This gene belongs to a pro-apoptotic subfamily within the BCL-2 protein family, referred to as the BCL-2 homology domain 3 (BH3)-only subfamily, which determine whether a cell commits to apoptosis. In response to death-inducing stimuli, BH3-only members inhibit the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family members, which under steady-state conditions keep the multi-BH domain proteins BAX and BAK, in an inactive state.
