RefSeq ID: NM_014618
Characteristics
BRINP1 is a prototype member of the subsequently identified BRINP family of sequentially related neural-specific proteins including BRINP2 and BRINP3, located on chromosome 9q 32–33, between D9S1848 and AFMA239XA9a((Nishiyama H 1999)), putative tumor suppressor locus whose deletion is frequently observed in bladder tumors((Toshiyuki N 2004)).
Expression
BRINP1 is most highly and widely expressed in various regions of the mammalian nervous system, although its expression is also found in some non-neural tissues and cell types at low levels((Toshiyuki N 2004)).
Regulation
Hypermethylation of the BRINP1-CpG island suppresses BRINP1 expression in NIH 3T3 cells((Toshiyuki N 2004)).
Disease
bladder cancer((Nishiyama H 1999))
