Shiratsuchi et al. (1997) identified 2 novel human genes homologous to BAI1 (608682), an angiogenesis inhibitor that is a candidate for involvement in development of glioblastoma. Like BAI1, these 2 genes, designated BAI2 and BAI3 (602684), were specifically expressed in brain, and are likely to be expressed in the same type of cells. However, in spite of similar tissue specificity among the 3 BAI genes, only BAI1 is transcriptionally regulated by p53.
Shiratsuchi et al. (1997) mapped the BAI2 gene to 1p35 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
