NCIt definition : Human BEAN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16q21 and is approximately
68 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein BEAN1, may play a role in the
regulation of protein ubiquitination. Insertions of over 110 copies of pentanucleotide
repeats, including a (TGGAA)n sequence, in intronic regions of this gene (and/or the
TK2 gene, which shares an overlapping sequence and is transcribed in the opposite
orientation) is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 31.;
