NCIt synonyms : Truncated BH3-Interacting Domain Death Agonist; tBID;
NCIt definition : Truncated BID is encoded by the human BID gene and is a C-terminal peptide that results
from caspase-8 cleavage of the BH3-interacting domain death agonist protein. This
protein fragment localizes with the mitochondrial membrane and can stimulate the release
of cytochrome c and promote the progression of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : The p11 form of truncated BID is lacking the BH3 domain. (UniProt); Tumor necrosis factor induces a caspase-8-mediated cleavage of p22 BH3-interacting
domain death agonist into a major p15 and minor p13 and p11 products. Once cleaved,
the products become associated with the mitochondrial membrane. (UniProt);
