Recombinant Chicken Brain Acid Soluble Protein 1 Homolog (BASP1)

Chicken Brain Acid Soluble Protein 1 Homolog (BASP1) is a multifunctional protein involved in various biological processes, including axonal growth, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity. It is highly expressed in the nervous system and some non-neural tissues. BASP1 regulates actin dynamics and presynaptic vesicle cycling, which are crucial for proper neural function and repair. In addition to its role in neurodevelopment, BASP1 has been implicated in immune regulation and cancer biology. It can interact with cholesterol to mediate chromatin remodeling and repress the function of transcription factors such as c-myc and WT1. In cancer, BASP1 expression has been associated with both tumor suppression and progression, depending on the context. In chickens, BASP1 likely plays a significant role in neural development and may have applications in studying neurodegenerative diseases and neural regeneration.
