    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein forms a heterodimer with BCL2, and functions as an apoptotic activator. This protein is reported to interact with, and increase the opening of, the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), which leads to the loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. The expression of this gene is regulated by the tumor suppressor P53 and has been shown to be involved in P53-mediated apoptosis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been reported for this gene.

    Interaction

    Homodimer. Forms higher oligomers under stress conditions. Forms heterooligomers with BAK (PubMed:29531808). Interacts with BCL2L11. Interaction with BCL2L11 promotes BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondrial membranes, with subsequent release of cytochrome c. Forms heterodimers with BCL2, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2L2, MCL1 and A1 (PubMed:25609812). Interacts with SH3GLB1. Interacts with humanin; forms fibers with humanin which results in BAX conformational changes and sequestering of BAX into the fibers, preventing BAX activation (PubMed:12732850, 31690630). Interacts with SFN and YWHAZ; the interaction occurs in the cytoplasm. Under stress conditions, JNK-mediated phosphorylation of SFN and YWHAZ, releases BAX to mitochondria. Interacts with RNF144B, which regulates the ubiquitin-dependent stability of BAX. Interacts with CLU under stress conditions that cause a conformation change leading to BAX oligomerization and association with mitochondria. Does not interact with CLU in unstressed cells. Interacts with FAIM2/LFG2. Interacts with RTL10/BOP. Interacts (via a C-terminal 33 residues) with NOL3 (via CARD domain); inhibits BAX activation and translocation and consequently cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Interacts with GIMAP3/IAN4 and GIMAP5/IAN5; this interaction is increased, when cells initiate apoptosis upon IL2 withdrawal (PubMed:16509771). Interacts with IRF3; the interaction is direct, increases upon Sendai virus infection and mediates the formation of the apoptosis complex TOMM70:HSP90AA1:IRF3:BAX (PubMed:25609812). Interacts with MOAP1, facilitating BAX-dependent mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and apoptosis (PubMed:11060313, 16199525). Interacts with BCL2L10/BCL-B (PubMed:23235460). [Isoform Sigma]: Interacts with BCL2A1 and BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L). (Microbial infection) Interacts with adenovirus E1B 19K protein; this interaction blocks BAX oligomerization (PubMed:11462023). (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus/HHV-5 protein vMIA/UL37. (Microbial infection) Interacts with enterovirus protein 2B; this interaction activates BAX-induced apoptosis.
