{"symbol":"BNIP2","synonyms":["BNIP-2","NIP2"],"name":"BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 2","description":"This gene is a member of the BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kd-interacting protein (BNIP) family. It interacts with the E1B 19 kDa protein, which protects cells from virally-induced cell death. The encoded protein also interacts with E1B 19 kDa-like sequences of BCL2, another apoptotic protector. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
