ID Q9Z2F7; PN BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3-like; GN Bnip3l; OS 10090; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0178; SL Comments: Nucleus envelope {ECO:0000250}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250}. Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000250}. Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Colocalizes with SPATA18 at the mitochondrion outer membrane. {ECO:0000250}. DR UNIPROT: Q9Z2F7; DR UNIPROT: Q545J6; DR Pfam: PF06553; DE Function: 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 (By similarity). May function as a tumor suppressor (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
