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: BCL2L10
Gene Name: BCL2L10
Protein Full Name: Bcl-2-like protein 10
Alias: Anti-apoptotic protein NrH;Apoptosis regulator Bcl-B
Mass (Da): 21973
Number AA: 194
UniProt ID: Q9HD36
Locus ID: 10017
COSMIC ID: BCL2L10
Gene location on chromosome: 15q21.2
Number of cancer specimens: 19718
