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: | PLEKHA2 |
| Gene Name: | PLEKHA2 |
| Protein Full Name: | Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family A mem |
| Alias: | PKHA2; Pleckstrin homology domain containing, family A (phosphoinositide binding specific) member 2; Tandem PH domain-containing protein 2; TAPP2; TAPP-2 |
| Mass (Da): | 47255 |
| Number AA: | 425 |
| UniProt ID: | Q9HB19 |
| Locus ID: | 59339 |
| COSMIC ID: | PLEKHA2 |
| Gene location on chromosome: | 8p11.22 |
| Number of cancer specimens: | 6965 |
| Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: | 0.29 |
| Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: | Binds specifically to phosphatidylinositol-3,4-diphosphate (PtdIns3,4P2), but not to other phosphoinositides. May recruit other proteins to the plasma membrane |
