General description

Bid, a BH3 domain-containing proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member, is known to interact with Bcl-2 and Bax. It has been reported that Bid induces cytochrome c release from mitochondria following cleavage by caspase-8 in response to apoptotic stimuli transmitted through cell surface death receptors. The cytochrome c releasing activity of Bid was antagonized by Bcl-2. Mutation in the SH3 domain can diminish the cytochrome c releasing activity. In animal model studies, Bid-deficient mice are found resistant to the lethal effects of death factor signals relayed through Fas.
