BAK, officially called Bcl2 antagonist killer, is a protein that in humans, is encoded by the BAK gene.
The BAK protein is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 gene family which is involved in initiating apoptosis.
BAK gene spans 7.6kb and contains 6 exons.
By Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from human/rodent somatic cell hybrids, BAK gene is localized to chromosome 6.
This protein localizes to mitochondria, and functions to induce apoptosis.
It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome.
This protein also interacts with the tumor suppressor P53 after exposure to cell stress.
