BBC3 — BCL2 Binding Component 3 (PUMA)

🧬 Gene Info
Gene SymbolBBC3
Full NameBCL2 Binding Component 3 (PUMA)
AliasesBBC3 gene encoding PUMA
Chromosome19q13.32
FunctionUnlike anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins or pro-apoptotic Bax/Bak proteins, BH3-only proteins contain only the BH3 (Bcl-2 Homology 3) domain, which is essential for their pro-apoptotic function.
