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: ANG
Gene Name: ANG
Protein Full Name: Angiogenin
Alias: Ribonuclease 5
Mass (Da): 16550
Number AA: 147
UniProt ID: P03950
Locus ID: 283
COSMIC ID: ANG
Gene location on chromosome: 14q11.2
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
