UCA1 Gene

urothelial cancer associated 1 (non-protein coding)

This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that was found to be upregulated in bladder cancer and plays a regulatory role in cell proliferation. This transcript regulates several genes, including CREB (cAMP responsive element binding protein). Expression of this transcript is regulated by CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha.

AATBC Gene

apoptosis associated transcript in bladder cancer

BTS1 Gene

bladder tumor susceptibility 1

BLACAT1 Gene

bladder cancer associated transcript 1 (non-protein coding)

BLCAP Gene

bladder cancer associated protein

This gene encodes a protein that reduces cell growth by stimulating apoptosis. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters result in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. This gene is imprinted in brain where different transcript variants are expressed from each parental allele. Transcript variants initiating from the upstream promoter are expressed preferentially from the maternal allele, while transcript variants initiating downstream of the interspersed NNAT gene (GeneID:4826) are expressed from the paternal allele. Transcripts at this locus may also undergo A to I editing, resulting in amino acid changes at three positions in the N-terminus of the protein. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
