BASP1 and neoplasm: In neurons, BASP1 is localized mainly in the lipid rafts of synaptic vesicles and plasma membranes, where it could participate in the transport and anchoring of glutamic acid decarboxylase isoforms (GAD) GAD65 and GAD67.20 More in line with the current report, recent data have linked BASP1 to tumor suppression.38, 39, 40 The proapoptotic role of BASP1 might contribute to tumor suppression, although this possibility has not been formally explored.
