BIX is an inducer of the chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa (GRP78), also known as heat shock 70 kDa protein 5 (HspA5) and immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein (BiP).{54702} It induces expression of the gene encoding GRP78, but not those encoding calreticulin, CHOP, EDEM, p58IPK, or ASNA, in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells when used at a concentration of 50 µM. BIX (5 µM) reduces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis in SK-N-SH cells. In vivo, BIX (20 µg/2 µl, i.c.v.) reduces infarct volume and brain swelling in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). It protects against carotid artery occlusion-induced neuronal apoptosis in gerbil hippocampus.{54703} BIX also increases renal GRP78 protein levels and attenuates ischemia and reperfusion-induced renal injury in mice.{54704}
