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: ARL6IP5
Gene Name: ARL6IP5
Protein Full Name: PRA1 family protein 3
Alias: ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 6-interacting protein 5;Cytoskeleton-related vitamin A-responsive protein;Dermal papilla-derived protein 11;GTRAP3-18;Glutamate transporter EAAC1-interacting protein;JM5;Prenylated Rab acceptor protein 2;Protein JWa;Putative MAPK-activating protein PM27
Mass (Da): 21615
Number AA: 188
UniProt ID: O75915
Locus ID: 10550
COSMIC ID: ARL6IP5
Gene location on chromosome: 3p14.1
Number of cancer specimens: NA
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: NA
Normal role description: Regulates intracellular concentrations of taurine and glutamate. ARL6IP5 downregulates EAAC1-mediated transport of glutamic acid outside of the cell. Expression of ARL6IP5 increased during treatment of AML with retinoic acid leading to hematopoetic differentiation.
