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: DACH1
Gene Name: DACH1
Protein Full Name: Uncharacterized protein
Alias: Dachshund homologue 1
Mass (Da): 78630
Number AA: 760
UniProt ID: Q9UI36
Locus ID: 1602
COSMIC ID: DACH1
Gene location on chromosome: 13q21.33
Cancer protein type: TSP
