BASP1
open-in-new
<p>Brain acid soluble protein 1 is a <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> that in humans is encoded by the <i>BASP1</i> <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a>. </p><p>This gene encodes a membrane bound protein with several transient <a href="/facts/Phosphorylation/LXUEEeIL">phosphorylation</a> sites and <a href="/facts/PEST_sequence/tc6Nmxfr">PEST</a> motifs. Conservation of proteins with PEST sequences among different species supports their functional significance. PEST sequences typically occur in proteins with high <a href="/facts/Protein_turnover/A0N0TMK2">turnover rates</a>. <a href="/facts/Immunological/vylm0L8e">Immunological</a> characteristics of this protein are species specific. This protein also undergoes N-terminal <a href="/facts/Myristoylation/KbEstnBu">myristoylation</a>. </p>
