BIK
Description
The BIK (BCL2 interacting killer) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.
BIK or BIK may refer to:
BIK promotes programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Its ability to induce apoptosis can be suppressed by binding to apoptosis repressors such as Bcl-X(L), BHRF1, Bcl-2, or the adenovirus protein E1B 19k. However, BIK does not interact with the protein BAX.
BIK is also known as BIP1, BP4, NBK.
