NCIt synonyms : ATG6; Beclin 1 (Coiled-Coil, Moesin-Like BCL2-Interacting Protein) Gene; Beclin 1 (Coiled-Coil, Moesin-Like BCL2 Interacting Protein) Gene; VPS30; beclin1; ATG6 Autophagy Related 6 Homolog (S. cerevisiae) Gene; Beclin 1 wt Allele; Beclin 1, Autophagy Related Gene; GT197;

NCIt definition : Human BECN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q21 and is approximately 14 kb in length. This allele, which encodes beclin-1 protein, plays a role in both the regulation of both autophagy and apoptosis and the mediation of the host defense against viral infection. The gene may have tumor suppressor activity.;
