Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process; protein dimerization activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in meiosis I and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; and regulation of type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in chromosome, centromeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer; pulmonary hypertension; and transitional cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human BIRC5 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5).
