Protein name Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer (Apoptosis regulator BAK) (Bcl-2-like protein 7) (Bcl2-L-7)
Protein function Plays a role in the mitochondrial apoptotic process. Upon arrival of cell death signals, promotes mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization by oligomerizing to form pores within the MOM. This releases apoptogenic factors into the cytos
