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: SS18L1
Gene Name: SS18L1
Protein Full Name: Calcium-responsive transactivator
Alias: CREST; KIAA0693; S18L1; SS18-like 1; Synovial sarcoma translocation gene on chromosome 18-like 1; SYT 1
Mass (Da): 42990
Number AA: 396
UniProt ID: O75177
Locus ID: 26039
COSMIC ID: SS18L1
Gene location on chromosome: 20q13.3
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 20238
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.01
Deregulated in translocations: SSX1
Normal role description: In response to calcium it is involved in trancscriptional activator that interacts with CREBBP. In cancer, altered transcription due to translocation induces dysregulation and results in synovial sarcoma.
