Becn1 - beclin 1 Gene
Also Known as Beclin1
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Becn1
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 63 phenotypes. Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 276.8), Thymus (RPKM 266.7) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Enables ubiquitin protein Ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to metal ion; regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of vacuole organization. Located in cytoplasm; dendrite; and nucleus. Colocalizes with trans-Golgi network. Used to study brain ischemia and middle cerebral artery infarction. Biomarker of several diseases, including Barrett's esophagus; acute necrotizing pancreatitis; artery disease (multiple); brain disease (multiple); and neuropathy (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease. Orthologous to human BECN1 (beclin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
