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: PHF16
Gene Name: PHF16
Protein Full Name: Protein Jade-3
Alias: JADE3; KIAA0215; PHD finger protein 16
Mass (Da): 93808
Number AA: 823
UniProt ID: Q92613
Locus ID: 9767
COSMIC ID: PHF16
