BLCAP: Lysates

BLCAP is encoded by this gene was identified using a differential display procedure with tumor biopsies obtained from a noninvasive and an invasive bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Although database searches revealed no homology to any human gene at the time of identification, mouse, rat and zebrafish orthologs have since been identified. The function of this differentially expressed protein is not yet known but it appears to be down-regulated during bladder cancer progression. [provided by RefSeq].
