NCIt synonyms : DBCCR1; FAM5A; DBC1; DBCCR1 wt Allele; BA574M5.1 (Deleted In Bladder Cancer Chromosome Region Candidate 1 (IB3089A)) Gene; BA574M5.1; Deleted in Bladder Cancer Chromosome Region Candidate 1 Gene; IB3089A; BMP/Retinoic Acid Inducible Neural Specific 1 wt Allele; Deleted in Bladder Cancer 1 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human BRINP1 wild-type allele is located within 9q32-q33 and is approximately 203
kb in length. This allele, which encodes BMP/retinoic acid-inducible neural-specific
protein 1, is involved in the modulation of cellular proliferation, the inhibition
of the G1/S transition of the cell cycle, the mediation of non-apoptotic cell death
and the regulation of the expression of components of the fibrinolysis pathway. Hypermethylation-based
silencing or loss of homozygosity of the gene occurs in many cases of bladder cancer.;
