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. May function as a tumor suppressor. Inhibits apoptosis induced by BNIP3.,PTM:Undergoes progressive proteolysis to an 11 kDa C-terminal fragment, which is blocked by the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin.,similarity:Belongs to the NIP3 family.,subunit:Self-associates. Interacts with BNIP3 and STEAP3. Interacts with human adenovirus-2 E1B 19 kDa protein.,
