Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables BH3 domain binding activity. Involved in extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of oxidative stress-induced neuron intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; lung adenocarcinoma; lung cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human MCL1 (MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member).
