MyBioSource.com's BNIP3 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Western Blot.
Description
Function: Apoptosis-inducing protein that can overcome BCL2 suppression. May play a role in repartitioning calcium between the two major intracellular calcium stores in association with BCL2. Involved in mitochondrial quality control via its interaction with SPATA18/MIEAP: in response to mitochondrial damage, participates in mitochondrial protein catabolic process (also named MALM) leading to the degradation of damaged proteins inside mitochondria. The physical interaction of SPATA18/MIEAP, BNIP3 and BNIP3L/NIX at the mitochondrial outer membrane regulates the opening of a pore in the mitochondrial double membrane in order to mediate the translocation of lysosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix. Plays an important role in the calprotectin (S100A8/A9)-induced cell death pathway.
Subunit Structure: Homodimer. Binds to BCL2. Interacts with BNIP3L and ACAA2. Also can interact with adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein or Epstein-Barr virus BHRF1. Interacts (via BH3 domain) with SPATA18 (via coiled-coil domains). Interacts with BOK; promotes BOK oligomerization (PubMed:15868100).
Similarity: Belongs to the NIP3 family
