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: SEMA3F
Gene Name: SEMA3F
Protein Full Name: Semaphorin-3F
Alias: Sema III/F;Semaphorin IV
Mass (Da): 88381
Number AA: 785
UniProt ID: Q13275
Locus ID: 6405
COSMIC ID: SEMA3F
Gene location on chromosome: 3p21.3
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 19814
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.65
Normal role description: Involved in tissue morphogenesis, direct axon migration and target connections, immune responses, cancer progression, metastasis and angiogenesis. Semaphorins affect the cytoskeleton and organization of actin filaments in addition to the microtubule network through receptor binding. Inhibits integrin activation and downstream pathways in lung cancer cells. Loss or dislocation in lung cancer and associated with LOH in breast cancer.
