Background
modulator of apoptosis 1(MOAP1) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its interaction with apoptosis regulator BAX protein. This protein contains a Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-like motif, which is required for the association with BAX. When overexpressed, this gene has been shown to mediate caspase-dependent apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:The BH3-like domain is required for association with BAX and for mediating apoptosis. The three BH domains (BH1, BH2, and BH3) of BAX are all required for mediating protein-protein interaction.,function:Required for death receptor-dependent apoptosis. When associated with RASSF1, promotes BAX conformational change and translocation to mitochondrial membranes in response to TNF and TNFSF10 stimulation.,similarity:Belongs to the PNMA family.,subunit:Homodimer. Under normal circumstances, held in an inactive conformation by an intramolecular interaction. Binding to RASSF1 isoform A (RASSF1A) relieves this inhibitory interaction and allows further binding to BAX. Binds also to BCL2 and BCLX. Recruited to the TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF10A complexes in response to their respective cognate ligand, after internalization.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in heart and b
