Beclin-1 Cancer Research Results

Beclin-1, Beclin-1 (BECN1 gene): Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Protein Coding gene
Beclin 1, an autophagy and haploinsufficient tumor-suppressor protein, is frequently monoallelically deleted in breast and ovarian cancers. However, the precise mechanisms by which Beclin 1 inhibits tumor growth remain largely unknown.
A key biomarker of autophagy is Beclin-1. Beclin-1 stimulates LC3-I’s lipidation to produce LC3-II, which localizes to the autophagosome membrane to activate the development of autophagosomes.
-BECN1 = the official gene symbol (human gene name)
