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: NFAT5
Gene Name: NFAT5
Protein Full Name: Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5
Alias: KIAA0827; NF-AT5; NFATL1; NFATZ; nuclear factor of activated T cells 5; nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5, tonicity-responsive; OREBP; T cell transcription factor NFAT5; TonE-binding protein; TonEBP; tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein
Mass (Da): 165763
Number AA: 1531
UniProt ID: O94916
Locus ID: 10725
COSMIC ID: NFAT5
