Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is found predominately in the cytoplasm, where it plays a role in the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) prior to necrotic cell death. The encoded protein enhances outer and inner mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, especially under conditions of oxidative stress. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]. |
