Description: 'BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3-like' (BNIP3L), also called NIP3-like protein X (Nix) 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. [UniProt]
Immunogen: A synthetic peptide specific to human Nix / BNIP3L was used as the immunogen for the Nix antibody.
Storage: Store the Nix antibody at -20 °C.
