BAK1
Template:PBB Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAK1 gene.[1][2] BAK1 orthologs [3] have been identified in most mammals for which complete genome data are available.
BAK1 gene variation
Recently, one study of the role of genetics in abdominal aortic aneurism (AAA) showed that different BAK1 variants can exist in both diseased and nondiseased AA tissues compared to matching blood samples.[4] Since its publication, this observation has raised many discussions among scientific community because it seems to jeopardize the current paradigm that all cells have the same genomic DNA. However, BAK1 gene variants in different tissues may be easily explained by the expression of BAK1 gene on chromosome 6 and one its edited copies on chromosome 20 . This conjecture reconciles both the current paradigm and the observation of BAK1 gene variation in different tissues[5][6] . However, the authors of the BAK1 gene variations original article have published a response.[7]
Interactions
BAK1 has been shown to interact with BCL2-like 1,[8][9][10][11][12] Bcl-2,[13][14] P53[15] and MCL1.[11][15][16][17]
