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: CSF3R
Gene Name: CSF3R
Protein Full Name: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor
Alias: CD114 antigen; CSF3R; CSFGR; GCSR
Mass (Da): 92156
Number AA: 836
UniProt ID: Q99062
Locus ID: 1441
COSMIC ID: CSF3R
Gene location on chromosome: 1p35-p34.3
Number of cancer specimens: 26163
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 1.13
Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: Patients carrying these mutations are at risk for developing myelodysplastic syndromes and/or acute myeloid leukemia.Receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (CSF3), essential for granulocytic maturation. Plays a crucial role in the proliferation, differientation and survival of cells along the neutrophilic lineage. In addition it may function in some adhesion or recognition events at the cell surface.
