Name | BAX |
---|---|
Function | Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. Under normal conditions, BAX is largely cytosolic via constant retrotranslocation from mitochondria to the cytosol mediated by BCL2L1/Bcl-xL, which avoids accumulation of toxic BAX levels at the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform Alpha]: Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07812}; Single-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07812}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07812}. Note=Colocalizes with 14-3-3 proteins in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes release from JNK-phosphorylated 14-3-3 proteins and translocation to the mitochondrion membrane (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07812} [Isoform Gamma]: Cytoplasm. |
