BCAS4 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human BCAS4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q13.13 and is approximately 82 kb in length. This allele, which encodes breast carcinoma amplified sequence 4 protein, may be involved in both the progression of breast cancer and the regulation of vesicular trafficking. Some breast carcinomas are linked to either aberrant expression of the gene or a chromosomal translocation t(17;20)(q23;q13), which involves both this gene and the BCAS3 gene.

**Synonyms:** - Breast Carcinoma Amplified Sequence 4 wt Allele - FLJ20495
