Isoform 1 is ubiquitous. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in the kidney, colon and thyroid.
Mitochondrion intermembrane space. Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Predominantly present in the intermembrane space. Released into the cytosol following apoptotic stimuli, such as UV treatment, and stimulation of mitochondria with caspase-8 truncated BID/tBID.
