Definition
English
:
A flavoprotein that functions as a powerful antioxidant in the
MITOCHONDRIA
and promotes
APOPTOSIS
when released from the
mitochondria
. In mammalian
cells
AIF is released in response to pro-apoptotic protein members of the bcl-2 protein
family
. It translocates to the
CELL NUCLEUS
and binds
DNA
to stimulate CASPASE-independent
CHROMATIN
condensation.
