AIFM2 apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84883)

Symbol: AIFM2

Full name: apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: AMID; FSP1; PRG3

Summary: This gene encodes a flavoprotein oxidoreductase that binds single stranded DNA and is thought to contribute to apoptosis in the presence of bacterial and viral DNA. The expression of this gene is also found to be induced by tumor suppressor protein p53 in colon cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Expression: Broad expression in fat (RPKM 26.6), thyroid (RPKM 7.3) and 22 other tissues
