basic FUNCTION	besides its heme-binding properties, promotes necrotic cell death by inducing mitochondrial permeability transition
	can be a novel member of the BH3 domain-only proteins that cannot induce cell death alone but can facilitate both outer and inner mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and predominantly necrotic cell death in oxidative stress
	induce apoptosis by provoking the mitochondrial permeability transition
