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: ENAH
Gene Name: ENAH
Protein Full Name: Protein enabled homolog
Alias: Enabled; FLJ10773; MENA; NDPP1
Mass (Da): 66510
Number AA: 591
UniProt ID: Q8N8S7
Locus ID: 55740
COSMIC ID: ENAH
Gene location on chromosome: 1q42.12
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 19625
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.55
Normal role description: Links the receptor-tyrosine kinase pathways (EGF, Neuregulin) with actin cytoskeleton system. Levels increase with tumour progression in many different human cancers. At times this is mediated through constituent activation of the receptor pathways and is thus responsive to RTK inhibitor therapy (herceptin, erlotinib).
