Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in spleen, bone marrow, cerebral and cerebellar cortex. Isoform 2 is expressed in spleen, pancreas and placenta (at protein level). Isoform 3 is expressed in lung, pancreas and spleen (at protein level). Isoform 4 is expressed in lung and pancreas (at protein level).
Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion membrane. Mitochondrion outer membrane. When uncleaved, it is predominantly cytoplasmic.; [BH3-interacting domain death agonist p15]: Mitochondrion membrane. Translocates to mitochondria as an integral membrane protein.; [BH3-interacting domain death agonist p13]: Mitochondrion membrane. Associated with the mitochondrial membrane.; [Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 2]: Mitochondrion membrane. A significant proportion of isoform 2 localizes to mitochondria, it may be cleaved constitutively.
