This gene belongs to a pro-apoptotic subfamily within the BCL-2 protein family, referred to as the BCL-2 homology domain 3 (BH3)-only subfamily, which determine whether a cell commits to apoptosis. In response to death-inducing stimuli, BH3-only members inhibit the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family members, which under steady-state conditions keep the multi-BH domain proteins BAX and BAK, in an inactive state.

A study in human and rat skin demonstrated that UVB irradiation induced significant transcriptional up-regulation of the PMAIP1 in both species, with fold changes of 10.7 in human and 12.5 in rat skin at the peak of hyperalgesia [Dawes et al. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0093338]. A study in human keratinocytes and mouse skin demonstrated that X-ray irradiation (5 Gy) induced significant gene expression changes, with 16 genes upregulated and 59 downregulated at 3 hours post-exposure [Koike et al. DOI:10.1269/jrr.46.173]. The research identified the PMAIP1 as a proapoptotic gene mentioned in the context of UVB irradiation, though it was not experimentally studied in this specific investigation of ionizing radiation.
