Bad Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell communication; positive regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential; and purine ribonucleotide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic signaling pathway; positive regulation of lymphocyte differentiation; and symbiont-mediated perturbation of host apoptosis. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and limb segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endometrial cancer; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human BAD (BCL2 associated agonist of cell death).
