| Modification Notes | BLCAP (Bladder cancer-associated protein) is an 87 amino acid highly conserved multi-pass transmembrane protein that is highly expressed in normal esophagus, thyroid and brain tissue. Overexpression of BLCAP inhibits cell growth and initiates apoptosis via upregulation of p21 and downregulation of Bcl-xL and Bcl-2. Since p53 and NF˚B activity remain unchanged, the regulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis by BLCAP represents a novel pathway independent of p53 and NF˚B. Transcription of the gene encoding BLCAP is almost completely repressed in high invasive transitional cell carcinomas. Additionally, BLCAP is expressed in all non-cancerous cervical tissues, but expression is lost in primary cervical cancer tissue. This evidence suggests that BLCAP may be a suitable marker for carcinogenic invasiveness and progression. |
