BAIAP2L1 (brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 1) belongs to the IRSp53 (insulin receptor substrate protein of 53kDa) family. BAIAP2L1 is widely distributed in human tissues. The protein mainly localizes in the nucleus. BAIAP2L1 is commonly referred to as IRTKS (insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate).
Synonyms: Anti-BAI1-associated protein 2-like protein 1; Anti-Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 1; Anti-Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: BAIAP2L1 (brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 1) is linked with actin remodeling and membrane protrusion. It is up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is associated with tumor size. In HCC cells, it promotes EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) signaling pathway. BAIAP2L1 also inhibits p53-mediated apoptosis and transactivation activity.
