BECN1 / Beclin-1

Beclin 1 is a coiled coil protein that interacts with prototypic cellular antiapoptotic gene Bcl2. Beclin 1 is widely expressed with highest levels reported in skeletal muscle. Three alternativaly spliced isoforms have been identified. Allelic deletion of beclin 1 results in a wide variety of cancers including breast cancer.
