NCIt definition : Human HRK wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q24.23 and is less than
1 kb in length. This allele, which encodes activator of apoptosis harakiri protein,
is involved in the regulation of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Design Note: HRK interacts with BCL2 and BCLXL via the BH3 domain, but not with the
death-promoting BCL2-related proteins BAX, BAK, or BCLXS. HRK localizes to membranes
of intracellular organelles in a pattern similar to that previously reported for BCL2
and BCLXLHRK regulates apoptosis through interaction with death-repressor proteins
Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L).;
