* Information From OMIM

Function: Chittenden et al. (1995) and Kiefer et al. (1995) described the functional analysis of BAK, which promotes cell death and counteracts the protection from apoptosis provided by BCL2. Chittenden et al. (1995) found that enforced expression of BAK induced rapid and extensive apoptosis of serum-deprived fibroblasts. This suggested that BAK may be directly involved in activating the cell death machinery. Kiefer et al. (1995) pointed out that, like BAX (OMIM:600040), the BAK gene product primarily enhances apoptotic cell death following an appropriate stimulus. Unlike BAX, however, BAK can inhibit cell death in an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cell line.
