BNIP3LNIX

BNIP3LNIX is a gene that in humans is encoded by the BNIP3L gene. This gene is part of the mitoguin family, which plays a role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and function. BNIP3L is specifically involved in promoting mitochondrial fission and degradation, a process essential for cellular energy production and turnover.

Research suggests that BNIP3L is often overexpressed in cancer cells, particularly in those with high metabolic

Studies have also implicated BNIP3L in various signal transduction pathways, including those controlled by p53 and

Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which BNIP3L regulates cellular processes and
