Target Details for BIK

Target: BIK (BCL2-Interacting Killer (Apoptosis-Inducing) (BIK))

Alternative Name: BIK

Background:

Synonyms: Bcl-2-interacting killer,Apoptosis inducer NBK,BIP1,BP4,BIK,NBK,

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in heart, brain, liver and prostate, but not in kidney, lung, adrenal, aorta and pituitary. Within the prostate, expressed in the apex, base, periurethral and lateral lobe. Isoform 4 is the most abundant isoform expressed in the prostate with high levels also detected in liver and heart. .

Background: Bcl-2-interacting killer is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BIK gene. This gene is mapped to 22q13.31. The protein encoded by this gene shares a critical BH3 domain with other death-promoting proteins, such as BID, BAK, BAD and BAX, that is required for its pro-apoptotic activity, and for interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 family, and viral survival-promoting proteins. Since the activity of this protein is suppressed in the presence of survival-promoting proteins, it is suggested as a likely target for anti-apoptotic proteins.
