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: PEBP1
Gene Name: PEBP1
Protein Full Name: Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1
Alias: 23 kDa morphine-binding protein; B-RAF proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase; HCNP; Hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide; Neuropolypeptide h3; P23K; PBP; PEBP; Phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1; Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein; Prostatic-binding protein; Raf kinase inhibitor protein; Raf kinase inhibitory protein
Mass (Da): 21057
Number AA: 187
UniProt ID: P30086
Locus ID: 5037
COSMIC ID: PEBP1
Gene location on chromosome: 12q24.23
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: LOSS
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 20269
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0
Normal role description: Inhibits MEK/ERK pathway as well as RAF and GRK2. May promote apoptosis through inhibition of the NF-kB pathway. PEBP1 levels decrease in many cancer systems leading to increased MEK/ERK signalling and cell survival.
