Literature on CISD2

CISD2 [ENSP00000273986]

CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2; Regulator of autophagy that contributes to antagonize BECN1- mediated cellular autophagy at the endoplasmic reticulum. Participates in the interaction of BCL2 with BECN1 and is required for BCL2-mediated depression of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores during autophagy. Contributes to BIK-initiated autophagy, while it is not involved in BIK-dependent activation of caspases. Involved in life span control, probably via its function as regulator of autophagy. ; Belongs to the CISD protein family. CISD2 subfamily.
