Bmf Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to UV; negative regulation of autophagic cell death; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within anoikis; negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Orthologous to human BMF (Bcl2 modifying factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Bmf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
