{"symbol":"BNIP3L","synonyms":["BNIP3A","NIX"],"name":"BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 3-like","description":"This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the pro-apoptotic subfamily within the Bcl-2 family of proteins. The encoded protein binds to Bcl-2 and possesses the BH3 domain. The protein directly targets mitochondria and causes apoptotic changes, including loss of membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c.
