domain:The BH3 motif is required for Bcl-2 binding and cytotoxicity.,function:Induces apoptosis. Isoform BimL is more potent than isoform BimEL. Isoform Bim-alpha1, isoform Bim-alpha2 and isoform Bim-alpha3 induce apoptosis, although less potent than the isoforms BimEL, BimL and BimS. Isoform Bim-gamma induces apoptosis.,similarity:Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.,subcellular location:Associated with intracytoplasmic membranes.,subunit:Forms heterodimers with a number of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins including MCL1, BCL2, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2A1/BFL-1, and BHRF1. Does not heterodimerize with proapoptotic proteins such as BAD, BOK, BAX or BAK.,tissue specificity:Isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS are the predominant isoforms and are ubiquitously expressed with a tissue-specific variation. Isoform Bim-gamma is most abundantly expressed in small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in spleen, prostate, testis, heart, liver and kidney.,
Endomembrane system ; Peripheral membrane protein . Associated with intracytoplasmic membranes. .; [Isoform BimEL]: Mitochondrion. Translocates from microtubules to mitochondria on loss of cell adherence.; [Isoform BimL]: Mitochondrion.; [Isoform BimS]: Mitochondrion.; [Isoform Bim-alpha1]: Mitochondrion.
Isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS are the predominant isoforms and are widely expressed with tissue-specific variation. Isoform Bim-gamma is most abundantly expressed in small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in spleen, prostate, testis, heart, liver and kidney.
