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: KIAA0776
Gene Name: KIAA0776
Protein Full Name: E3 UFM1-protein ligase 1
Alias: K0776
Mass (Da): 89595
Number AA: 794
UniProt ID: O94874
Locus ID: 23376
COSMIC ID: KIAA0776
Gene location on chromosome: 6q16.1
Number of cancer specimens: 19626
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.53
Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: E3 UFM1-protein ligase that mediates ufmylation of target proteins such as DDRGK1/C20orf116. The function of ufmylation is unknown. May act as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell invasion, blocking NF-kappa-B signaling and increasing stability of CDK5RAP3.
