Regulation of BOK. BOK is not regulated by other BCL-2 proteins, but is controlled by endoplasmic reticulum–associated degradation (ERAD), which induces degradation of BOK. Disruption of ERAD or the degradation machinery allows BOK to accumulate and oligomerize on the outer mitochondrial membrane to cause mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP).
