BNIP3L and cardiomyopathy: The subfamily of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 homology (BH) BH3-only proteins, BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and its homologue BNIP3-like (BNIP3L or Nix), also induce apoptosis [109] and the forced expression of these genes is sufficient to induce cardiomyopathy in murine models [35,110,111].
