Predicted to be involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process by cytochrome c; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress; and neuron apoptotic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 64. Orthologous to human DIABLO (diablo IAP-binding mitochondrial protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
