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: LYL1
Gene Name: LYL1
Protein Full Name: Protein lyl-1
Alias: Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 18;Lymphoblastic leukemia-derived sequence 1
Mass (Da): 29938
Number AA: 280
UniProt ID: P12980
Locus ID: 4066
COSMIC ID: LYL1
Gene location on chromosome: 19p13.2
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 20237
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.13
Deregulated in translocations: t(7;19)(q35;p13) --> TCRB/LYL1 in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Normal role description: Involved in hematopoeic differentiation. Demonstrated interaction with E2A and NF-kB. May function as OG by sequestring E2A which is itself a TSP. LYL1 overexpression has been demonstrated in immature lymphblasts and T-cell leukemias
