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: PARP10
Gene Name: PARP10
Protein Full Name: Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 10
Alias: PARP-10
Mass (Da): 109980
Number AA: 1025
UniProt ID: Q53GL7
Locus ID: 609564
COSMIC ID: PARP10
Gene location on chromosome: 8q24.3
Cancer protein type: UNCLEAR
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: UNCLEAR
Number of cancer specimens: 20179
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.61
Normal role description: May play a role in cell proliferation. May be required for the maintenance of cell cycle progression. The PARP domain possessed auto-PARP activity and modified all 4 core histones tested, with preference for histone H2A, but it did not modify MYC, MAX, histone H1, or YY1. Role in oncogenesis unclear.
