Summary
BCL2L10 (BCL2 like 10, HGNC:993) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q21.2, encoding Bcl-2-like protein 10 (Q9HD36). Promotes cell survival by suppressing apoptosis induced by BAX but not BAK.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL-2 protein family. BCL-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The protein encoded by this gene contains conserved BH4, BH1 and BH2 domains. This protein can interact with other members of BCL-2 protein family including BCL2, BCL2L1/BCL-X(L), and BAX. Overexpression of this gene has been shown to suppress cell apoptosis possibly through the prevention of cytochrome C release from the mitochondria, and thus activating caspase-3 activation. The mouse counterpart of this protein is found to interact with Apaf1 and forms a protein complex with Caspase 9, which suggests the involvement of this protein in APAF1 and CASPASE 9 related apoptotic pathway.

Function. Promotes cell survival by suppressing apoptosis induced by BAX but not BAK. Increases binding of AHCYL1/IRBIT to ITPR1. Reduces ITPR1-mediated calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum cooperatively with AHCYL1/IRBIT under normal cellular conditions. Under apoptotic stress conditions, dissociates from ITPR1 and is displaced from mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes, leading to increased Ca(2+) transfer to mitochondria which promotes apoptosis. Required for the correct formation of the microtubule organizing center during oocyte cell division, potentially via regulation of protein abundance and localization of other microtubule organizing center components such as AURKA and TPX2.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with BAX. Interacts with BCL2 and BCL2L1/BCLX. Interacts with APAF1. Interacts with ITPR1, ITPR2 and ITPR3; the interaction with ITPR1 is increased in the presence of AHCLY1. Interacts with AHCYL1. Interacts with HIP1R (via ENTH and I/LWEQ domains). Interacts with CASP9. Interacts with BCL2L11/BIM. Interacts with BIK. Interacts with UBQLN4. Interacts with NME2/NM23-H2. Interacts with PMAIP1/NOXA. Interacts with TPX2. Interacts with UBQLN1; in the cytoplasm. Interacts (via BH1 domain) with BECN1.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Nucleus membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed in adult tissues. Preferentially expressed in lung, liver and kidney.
Post-translational modifications. Monoubiquitinated by UBQLN1; results in stabilization of BCL2L10 protein abundance and in relocalization from mitochondria to cytoplasm.
Similarity. Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 13 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
