   Cancer Name testicular cancer
   ICD-0-3 C62  
   Methods qPCR etc.
   Sample cell line (Hela)
   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.

   Title A natural antisense transcript, BOKAS, regulates the pro-apoptotic activity of human Bok.
