  • localized in the mitochondria 2)
    • basic FUNCTION
  • may play an important role in redox signaling in cancer cells
  • integral mitochondrial inner-membrane protein that coordinately regulates mitochondrial morphology and cell proliferation
  • ROMO1-derived ROS play potentially an important role in apoptotic cell death triggered by withdrawal of cell survival factors
  • recruits BCL2L1 to reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting in ROS production and apoptotic cell death
  • molecular bridge between TNF-alpha signaling and the mitochondria for ROS production that triggers TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis, as well as a novel target in the development of anti-inflammatory agents that block the origin of ROS production
  • subsequently triggers SKP2-mediated ubiquitylation and degradation of MYC
  • is responsible for a serum deprivation-induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS)
  • involved in generation of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria
  • localized in the mitochondria and mediates mitochondrial ROS production through complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain
  • mediates mitochondrial ROS production and apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in lung epithelial cells
