| Gene Symbol | BMF |
| Full Name | Bcl-2 Modifying Factor |
| Chromosome | 15q14 |
| Function | is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. |
| Primary Expression | various tissues with highest expression in: |
| Subcellular Localization | Release from cytoskeletal sequestration is a key regulatory step |
| Amino Acids | 184 aa |
| UniProt ID | [Q9Y3T5](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9Y3T5) |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000108298 |
| GeneCards | BMF |
| Human Protein Atlas | BMF |
| BH3 Domain | The critical Bcl-2 Homology 3 domain (amino acids 112-135) is essential for pro-apoptotic function. This amphipathic α-helix mediates interactions with anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. |
| N-terminal Region | Contains regulatory sequences including a serine-rich region that can be phosphorylated. |
| C-terminal Tail | Hydrophobic region involved in membrane localization. |
| p53-dependent transcription | BMF can be transcriptionally activated by p53 in response to DNA damage |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
| Databases | GeneCardsNCBI GeneHPASTRING |
