Cancer Protein Description

This report provides a detailed description of a selected cancer protein with information collected from various sources, including UniProt, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute’s Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC), and the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology.


Protein Name: ENC1
Gene Name: ENC1
Protein Full Name: Ectoderm-neural cortex protein 1
Alias: CCL28; Ectodermal-neural cortex (with BTB-like domain); Ectoderm-neural cortex 1; ENC-1; Kelch-like 37; KLHL37; NRP/B; NRPB; Nuclear matrix protein NRP/B; Nuclear restricted protein, BTB domain-like (brain); P53-induced 10; PIG10; TP53I10
Mass (Da): 66130
Number AA: 589
UniProt ID: O14682
Locus ID: 8507
COSMIC ID: ENC1
Gene location on chromosome: 5q12-13
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: OG
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 19717
