Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1) is a p53-target gene specifically expressed in
the brain. We examined the distribution of the endogenous BAI1 protein in normal human
brain tissue using a polyclonal antibody against the extracellular region of BAI1.
Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that BAI1 was expressed in neuronal cells of the
cerebral cortex but not in astrocytes. BAI1 protein was localized in the cellular cytoplasm and
membrane. It was predominantly localized in the cellular membrane when expressed in …
