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: PATZ1
Gene Name: PATZ1
Protein Full Name: POZ-, AT hook-, and zinc finger-containing protein
Alias: BTB-POZ domain zinc finger transcription factor; DJ400N23; MAZR; PATZ; POZ (BTB) and AT hook containing zinc finger 1; Protein kinase A RI subunit alpha-associated protein; RIAZ; ZBTB19; Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 19; Zinc finger protein 278; Zinc finger sarcoma gene protein; ZNF278; ZSG
Mass (Da): 74060
Number AA: 687
UniProt ID: Q9HBE1
Locus ID: 23598
COSMIC ID: PATZ1
Gene location on chromosome: 22q12.2
Cancer protein type: NA
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: NA
Effect of active protein on cancer: NA
Number of cancer specimens: 20081
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.35
Normal role description: NA
Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: Note: in small round cell sarcoma, PATZ1 is fused to EWS by a small inversion of 22q, then the hybrid is thought to be translocated (t(1;22)(p36.1;q12)).
