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: PLCD1
Gene Name: PLCD1
Protein Full Name: 1-phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phosphodie
Alias: Phosphoinositide phospholipase C; Phospholipase c, delta 1; Phospholipase c, delta 1 isoform 1; Phospholipase c, delta 1 isoform 2; Phospholipase c, delta 1 variant; Phospholipase C-delta-1; Plcd1; PLC-III
Mass (Da): 85646
Number AA: 756
UniProt ID: P51178
Locus ID: 5333
COSMIC ID: PLCD1
Gene location on chromosome: 3p22.2
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: LOSS
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 19718
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.5
Normal role description: PLCD1is a phospholipase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PIP2 to DAG and IP3, both are secondary messengers used in signalling. In gastric, breast and esophageal cancers PLCD1 expression is reduced and associated with increased proliferation and migration.
