| Gene Symbol | BBC3 |
| Full Name | BCL2 Binding Component 3 (PUMA) |
| Aliases | BBC3 gene encoding PUMA |
| Chromosome | 19q13.32 |
| Function | Unlike anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins or pro-apoptotic Bax/Bak proteins, BH3-only proteins contain only the BH3 (Bcl-2 Homology 3) domain, which is essential for their pro-apoptotic function. |
