Predicted to be involved in apoptotic process in response to mitochondrial fragmentation; endoplasmic reticulum membrane fusion; and retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including COPI-coated vesicle; mitochondrial membrane; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial outer membrane. Orthologous to human BNIP1 (BCL2 interacting protein 1).
