NCIt definition : Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor B1 (1584 aa, 174 kDa) is encoded by the human
ADGRB1 gene. This protein is involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling and
the inhibition of angiogenesis.;
NCIt note : BAI1 is a a seven-span transmembrane protein and is postulated to be a member of the
secretin receptor family, an inhibitor of angiogenesis and a growth suppressor of
glioblastomas. BAI1 contains at least one 'functional' p53-binding site within an
intron, and its expression has been shown to be induced by wildtype p53. There are
two other brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor genes, designated BAI2 and BAI3 which
along with BAI1 have similar tissue specificities and structures, however only BAI1
is transcriptionally regulated by p53. (LocusLink);
