  • P-loop and a coiled-coil region near the N-terminus
  • a Bcl2-/adenovirus E1B interacting protein 2 (BNIP2)
  • Cdc42GAP homology domain in the C-terminus, with caspase cleavage sites upstream of the C-terminal BCH domain (Valencia 2007)
  • HOMOLOGY

    basic FUNCTION
  • may play an important role in regulating differentiation, survival and aggressiveness of the tumor cells (neuroblastoma)
  • BCH domain-containing protein implicated in programmed cell death (cleaved by caspases during apoptosis)(Valencia 2007)
  • could suppress cellular transformation by preventing sustained Rho activation in concert with restricting RHOA and AKAP13 binding via its BCH domain
  • involved in the regulation of protein degradation, apoptosis, neuronal loss and neurodevelopment
  • may contribute to the maintenance of mature nervous systems
  • novel role for BMCC1 in post-endocytic trafficking
  • is an AP2 associated endosomal protein in prostate cancer cells
