General annotation (Comments)

Function

Plays a major role in programmed cell death (PCD, apoptosis). Egl-1 binds to and directly inhibits the activity of ced-9, releasing the cell death activator ced-4 from a ced-9/ced-4 containing protein complex and allowing ced-4 to activate the cell-killing caspase ced-3. Ref.1 Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.8

Subunit structure

Interacts with ced-4 and egl-1. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8

Subcellular location

Endomembrane system; Peripheral membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note: Intracellular membranes, mitochondrial, and perinuclear region. Ref.4 Ref.6

Developmental stage

Abundant expression is seen in the embryos and the adults. Ref.3

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
