Anti-BNIP3L Antibody

BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3-like; Adenovirus E1B19K-binding protein B5; BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3A; NIP3-like protein X; NIP3L; BNIP3L; BNIP3A, BNIP3H, NIX;

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Induces apoptosis. Interacts with viral and cellular anti-apoptosis proteins. Can overcome the suppressors BCL-2 and BCL-XL, although high levels of BCL-XL expression will inhibit apoptosis. Inhibits apoptosis induced by BNIP3. Involved in mitochondrial quality control via its interaction with SPATA18/MIEAP: in response to mitochondrial damage, participates in mitochondrial protein catabolic process (also named MALM) leading to the degradation of damaged proteins inside mitochondria. The physical interaction of SPATA18/MIEAP, BNIP3 and BNIP3L/NIX at the mitochondrial outer membrane regulates the opening of a pore in the mitochondrial double membrane in order to mediate the translocation of lysosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix. May function as a tumor suppressor.

Nucleus envelope. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion outer membrane. Membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Colocalizes with SPATA18 at the mitochondrion outer membrane.
