Characteristics
The BOKAS gene consists of 2 exons and it is a natural antisense transcript of the hBok gene.[1] The full-length BOKAS transcript has 855 nucleotides but does not contain a long open reading frame, giving 79 amino acids in conceptually translation.[1]
Function
BOKAS function specifically in the human testis, where it serves as an antisense molecule to regulate Bok-induced apoptosis.[1] Overexpression of BOKAS reduced Bok-induced cell death. To assess the effect of BOKAS on Bok-induced apoptosis, overexpressed ectopically BOKAS in HeLa cells showed expression of BOKAS alone exhibited no significant anti- or pro-apoptotic activity when compared with control plasmids.[1]
Expression
BOKAS mRNA is differentially expressed in human tissues.[1] The mRNA expression of BOKAS is only detected in testis and certain cancer tissues but not in other normal adult tissues examined.[1]
