Cleavage may activate BID channels at physiological pH; leaves open its contribution to mitochondrial permeabilization in apoptosis.
BID exhibits ion channel-forming activity that is activated by proteolytic cleavage, suggesting structural and functional similarities with other Bcl-2 family proteins.
