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: TIE1
Gene Name: TIE1
Protein Full Name: Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Tie-1
Alias: EC 2.7.1.112; EC 2.7.10.1; JTK14; TIE; Tie protein; Tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and EGF-like domains 1
Mass (Da): 125090
Number AA: 1138
UniProt ID: P35590
Locus ID: 7075
COSMIC ID: TIE1
Gene location on chromosome: 1p34.2
