BNIP2, NIP2, BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 2
This gene is a member of the BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kd-interacting protein (BNIP) family. It interacts with the E1B 19 kDa protein, which protects cells from virally-induced cell death. The encoded protein also interacts with E1B 19 kDa-like sequences of BCL2, another apoptotic protector. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016],function:Implicated in the suppression of cell death. Interacts with the BCL-2 and adenovirus E1B 19 kDa proteins.,similarity:Contains 1 CRAL-TRIO domain.,subcellular location:Localizes to the nuclear envelope region and to other cytoplasmic structures.,
