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: DIDO1
Gene Name: DIDO1
Protein Full Name: Death-inducer obliterator 1
Alias: BYE1; C20orf158; DAT1; DATF1; DATF-1; Death associated transcription factor 1; Death inducer-obliterator 1; Death-associated transcription factor 1; DIO1; DIO-1; DJ885L7.8; FLJ11265; KIAA0333
Mass (Da): 243873
Number AA: 2240
UniProt ID: Q9BTC0
Locus ID: 11083
COSMIC ID: DIDO1
Gene location on chromosome: 20q13.33
Cancer protein type: TSP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: LOSS
Effect of active protein on cancer: INHIBITS
Number of cancer specimens: 19625
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 2.31
General distribution of mutations: Multi-site
Location of most mutations: Broad distribution of mutation sites with several point mutations, but no complex, insertion or deletion mutants.
Normal role description: DIDO1 is involved in apoptosis signalling. It is upregulated and translocates to the nucleus during apoptosis activation. Overexpression leads to apoptosis in vitro.
