BCAS3 antibody
2. BCAS3’s Function:
BCAS3 is a key player in
angiogenesis as it is:
1. Involved in regulating the
cell polarity and directional
endothelial cell migration.
2. Activates and recruits
CDC42.
3. Reorganizes the actin
cytoskeleton at the cell
leading edge.

3. BCAS3’s Involvement in Disease:
A chromosomal aberration
involving BCAS3 has been found in
some breast carcinoma cell lines.
Translocation t(17;20)(q23;q13) with
