BSG Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene, basigin, is a plasma membrane protein that is important in spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation, and tumor progression. Basigin is also a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, ubiquitously expressed in various tissues. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human BSG often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
