| Function |
Multifunctional sorting protein that controls the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria communication, including the apposition of mitochondria with the ER and ER homeostasis. In addition, in response to apoptic inducer, translocates BIB to mitochondria, which initiates a sequence of events including the formation of mitochondrial truncated BID, the release of cytochrome c, the activation of caspase-3 thereby causing cell death. May also be involved in ion channel trafficking, directing acidic cluster-containing ion channels to distinct subcellular compartments. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15692563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15692567}.
|
| Subcellular Location |

|
| Tissue Specificity |
Broadly expressed, with greatest levels in skeletal muscle followed by heart, brain, pancreas and testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15692567}.
