| basic FUNCTION
| apoptosis inducing protein, even in the presence of BCL2 |
|
playing a role in hypoxia-induced cell death in epithelial cells that could be circumvented by growth factor signaling |
|
mediates mitochondrial dysfunction through activation of BAX or BAK1 which is independent of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening  |
|
might play a role in gastric carcinoma development |
|
implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer and heart disease |
|
involved in the induction of autophagy and required for mitophagy (specialized autophagy that targets mitochondria) , and is clearly a survival mechanism that promotes tumor progression |
|
in tumor cells, BNIP3 is regulated by hypoxia and deregulation is associated with tumor growth |
|
transcriptional repression function causing reduced apoptosis-inducing factor expression and increased resistance to apoptosis in GBM tumors |
|
mediates permeabilization of mitochondria and release of cytochrome c via a novel mechanism |
|
BNIP3 and PDK1 are involved in two important pathways, cell death and glycolytic, playing critical roles in these pathways in cardiomyocytes after severe hypoxia |
|
might have a dual function in the myocardium, where it regulates both mitochondrial turnover via autophagy and cell death and that these are two separate processes activated by BNIP3 |
|
contributes to cell death through activation of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis |
|
caused an increase in mitochondrial protease activity, suggesting that BNIP3 might promote degradation of proteins in the mitochondria |
|
BNIP3-mediated impairment of mitochondrial respiration induces mitochondrial turnover by activating mitochondrial autophagy |
|
key regulator of cell death/autophagy and can act as an effector of a necrosis-like, atypical death program |
|
regulates the apoptotic balance as an autophagy receptor that induces removal of both mitochondria and ER |
|
role in limiting mitochondrial mass and maintaining mitochondrial integrity in the liver that has consequences for lipid metabolism and disease |
|
BNIP3 and AIFM1 cooperate to induce apoptosis and cavitation during epithelial morphogenesis |
|
could play a protective role in tumor cells under hypoxia |
|
BNIP3 regulates mitophagy during hypoxia, whereas BNIP3L is required for mitophagy during development of the erythroid lineage |
|
temporally regulated role for BNIP3 and BNIP3L in the generation of robust NK cell memory |
