Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AIFAUNX1CMT2DCMTX4COWCKCOXPD6DFNX5NADMRNAMSDPDCD8SEMDHL
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xq26.1
Summary This gene encodes a flavoprotein essential for nuclear disassembly in apoptotic cells, and it is found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in healthy cells. Induction of apoptosis results in the translocation of this protein to the nucleus where it a

Protein name Apoptosis-inducing factor 1, mitochondrial (EC 1.6.99.-) (Programmed cell death protein 8)
Protein function Functions both as NADH oxidoreductase and as regulator of apoptosis (PubMed:17094969, PubMed:20362274, PubMed:23217327, PubMed:33168626). In response to apoptotic stimuli, it is released from the mitochondrion intermembrane space into the cytoso
