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: PCDH11Y
Gene Name: PCDH11Y
Protein Full Name: Protocadherin-11 Y-linked
Alias: Protocadherin on the Y chromosome;Protocadherin prostate cancer;Protocadherin-22
Mass (Da): 146775
Number AA: 1340
UniProt ID: Q9BZA8
Locus ID: 83259
COSMIC ID: PCDH11Y
Gene location on chromosome: Yp11.2
Cancer protein type: NA
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: NA
Effect of active protein on cancer: NA
Number of cancer specimens: 19536
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.53
Normal role description: NA
Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: Note: PCDH11Y is translocation t(Y;3)(p11;p12) with ROBO2, and chromosomal aberrations involving the gene is a cause of multiple congenital abnormalities, incl. severe bilateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with ureterovesical junction defects.
