BAP31: Proteins and Enzymes

BAP31 (B Cell Receptor Associated Protein, 28 kDa) is a multiple membrane spanning protein of the endoplasmic reticulum. It has been shown to form both homo and hetero oligomers with the closely related BAP29, and is a potential apoptotic regulator as a predicted BCL2/BCLXL associated protein. In the C terminal domain of BAP31, there are two identical recognition sites for initiator Caspases 1 and 8 of the programmed death cascade. It is hypothesized that BAP31 plays a role in the transport of ...
