Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 2 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''BAI2''
gene.
It is a member of the
adhesion-GPCR
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs) are a class of 33 human protein receptors with a broad distribution in embryonic and larval cells, cells of the reproductive tract, neurons, leukocytes, and a variety of tumours. Adhesion GPC ...
family of receptors.
BAI1
Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''BAI1'' gene. It is a member of the adhesion-GPCR family of receptors.
Function
Angiogenesis is controlled by a local balance between stimulators and inhib ...
, a p53-target gene, encodes brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor, a seven-span transmembrane protein and is thought to be a member of the secretin receptor family. Brain-specific angiogenesis proteins BAI2 and BAI3 are similar to BAI1 in structure, have similar tissue specificities and may also play a role in angiogenesis.
