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: GAS7
Gene Name: GAS7
Protein Full Name: Growth arrest-specific protein 7
Alias: GAS-7; Growth arrest-specific 7; Growth-arrest-specific 7
Mass (Da): 54371
Number AA: 476
UniProt ID: O60861
Locus ID: 8522
COSMIC ID: GAS7
Gene location on chromosome: 17p13
Cancer protein type: UNCLEAR
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: UNCLEAR
Number of cancer specimens: 20357
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.58
Deregulated in translocations: treatment-related acute non lymphocytic leukemia with t(11;17)(q23;p13); 5' MLL-3' GAS7
Normal role description: Expressed in terminally differentiated and/or quiescent cells. Mainly implicated in neuronal development and not particularly related to cancer. Although neuroblastoma cells that over-express GAS7 begin to look more like true differentiated neurons, the role of GAS7 as a bonafied TSP is not established.
