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: DENR
Gene Name: DENR
Protein Full Name: Density-regulated protein
Alias: Density-regulated; DRP; DRP1; SMAP-3; Smooth muscle cell associated protein-3; Smooth muscle cell-associated 3
Mass (Da): 22092
Number AA: 198
UniProt ID: O43583
Locus ID: 8562
COSMIC ID: DENR
Gene location on chromosome: 12q24.31
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN

Normal role description: DENR contains SUI-1 domain is found to interact in mRNA regulations. It may be involved in directing ribosome to start site of translation. It has an important role in modulating the translational profile of a cell. In cancer it has been found to interacto with MCTS1 to alter translation of cancer-related transcripts.
