Apoptosis-inducing factor 1 mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AIFM1 gene.This gene encodes a flavoprotein essential for nuclear disassembly in apoptotic cells that is found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in healthy cells. Induction of apoptosis results in the translocation of this protein to the nucleus where it effects chromosome condensation and fragmentation.
