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: NUP214
Gene Name: NUP214
Protein Full Name: Nuclear pore complex protein Nup214
Alias: 214 kDa nucleoporin; CAIN; CAN; CAN protein; CAN protein, putative oncogene; D9S46E; N214; NU214; Nuclear pore complex protein Nup214; Nucleoporin 214kDa; Nucleoporin 214kDa (CAN); Nucleoporin Nup214
Mass (Da): 213620
Number AA: 2090
UniProt ID: P35658
Locus ID: 8021
COSMIC ID: NUP214
Gene location on chromosome: 9q34.1
Number of cancer specimens: 20484
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 1.32
Deregulated in translocations: Translocation t(6;9)(p23;q34) with DEK. It results in the formation of a DEK-CAN fusion gene. Translocation t(6;9)(q21;q34.1) with SET. Fusion partners include DEK and SET.
Normal role description: Nuclear pore protein. Docking site in the receptor-mediated import of substrates across the nuclear pore complex
