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: BCL10
Gene Name: BCL10
Protein Full Name: B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10
Alias: B-cell CLL/lymphoma 10; BCL10; CARD containing molecule enhancing NF-kB; CARD-containing apoptotic signaling protein; CARD-containing molecule enhancing NF-kappa-B; CARD-containing proapoptotic protein; CARD-like apoptotic protein; CARMEN; Caspase-recruiting domain-containing protein; CCARMEN; C-E10; CED-3/ICH-1 prodomain homologous E10-like regulator; Cellular homolog of vCARMEN; Cellular-E10; CIPER; CLAP; HCLAP; Mammalian CARD-containing adapter molecule E10; ME10
Mass (Da): 26252
Number AA: 233
UniProt ID: O95999
Locus ID: 8915
COSMIC ID: BCL10
Gene location on chromosome: 1p22.3
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: LOSS
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 20382
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.26
Normal role description: Pro-apoptotic protein. Involves interacting with other apoptotic regulators with CARD domains to induce apoptosis and activate NF-KB signalling. May synergize with MALT1 for NF-KB activation. Signalling induces apoptosis. Dysregulation is involved in cancer progression and development.
