Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 3

Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the BAI3 is_associated_with::gene.

The adhesion GPCR BaI3 is an orphan receptor that has a long N-terminus consisting of one cub domain, five BaI Thrombospondin type 1 repeats, and one hormone binding domain. BaI3 is expressed in neural tissues of the central nervous system. BaI3 has been shown to have a high affinity for C1q proteins. C1q added to hippocampal neurons expressing BaI3 resulted in a decrease in the number of synapses.
