TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over  
in melanoma cells, and in malignant gliomas
constitutional     --over  
leads to the inhibition of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) activity induced by Vav1, a Rac1 exchange factor
tumoral     --over  
in squamous-cell carcinomas, pancreatic, chromophobic kidney, hepatocellular or medullary breast adenocarcinomas as well as glioblastoma multiforme
tumoral     --over  
might contribute to growth and angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma (a good marker for local invasion and prognosis)
constitutional     --over  
in myocardium from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
constitutional     --over  
increases in the human left ventricle after acute myocardial infarction
tumoral     --over  
increasing levels in lung tumor epithelial cells leads to an enhancement in the metastatic potential of these cells through the upregulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling
tumoral     --over  
SLC3A2 and BSG were significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer cells, and their expression levels were significantly correlated
tumoral     --other  
hypo-phosphorylated BSG promotes the migration and invasion of HCC cells and correlates with an unfavorable prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients
constitutional       gain of function
during dynamic cellular events including tissue remodelling
tumoral     --over  
SLC16A44 and BSG overexpression correlated with higher PSA levels, as well as with perineural invasion and biochemical recurrence in prostate carcinoma
