Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
Function Description | The mRNA expression of BOKAS was only detected in testis and certain cancer tissues but not in other normal adult tissues examined. Overexpression of BOKAS alone exhibited no significant anti- or pro-apoptotic activity but it was able to inhibit Bok-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. Our results suggest that BOKAS may function specifically in the human testis, where it serves as an antisense molecule to regulate Bok-induced apoptosis. |
