BCCIP
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BRCA2 and CDKN1A-interacting protein is a protein that is encoded by the BCCIP gene in humans.[5][6][7]

This gene product was isolated based on its interaction with BRCA2 and p21 proteins. It is an evolutionarily conserved nuclear protein with multiple interacting domains. The N-terminal half shares moderate homology with regions of calmodulin and M-calpain, suggesting that it may also bind calcium. Functional studies indicate that this protein may be an important cofactor for BRCA2 in tumor suppression, and a modulator of CDK2 kinase activity via p21. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[7]
