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: TCF3
Gene Name: TCF3
Protein Full Name: TCF3 protein
Alias: Immunoglobulin enhancer-binding factor E12/E47; Immunoglobulin transcription factor 1; Kappa-E2-binding factor; Transcription factor 3; Transcription factor E2-alpha; Transcription factor ITF-1
Mass (Da): 68491
Number AA: 658
UniProt ID: P15923
Locus ID: 6929
COSMIC ID: TCF3
Gene location on chromosome: 19p13.3
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: LOSS
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 20715
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.48
Deregulated in translocations: PBX1; TFPT; ZNF384
Normal role description: TCF3 is a transcriptional regulator of B cells. It is important for B cell hematopoiesis. Translocation events that deregulate its activities lead to leukemia.
