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: CORO2B
Gene Name: CORO2B
Alias: Coronin-like protein C;Protein FC96
Mass (Da): 54953
Number AA: 480
UniProt ID: Q9UQ03
Locus ID: 10391
COSMIC ID: CORO2B
Gene location on chromosome: 15q23
Cancer protein type: OP (possibly)
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN (possibly)
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES (possibly)
Number of cancer specimens: 19689
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.57
Mutations observed as inherited: NA
Found in amplified chromosomal regions in human cancers: NA
Deregulated in translocations: NA
Deregulated by viral insertion: NA
Transduced into viral genome: NA

Normal role description: CORO2B may take part in neuronal actin structure organization. It accumulates at the leading edges of motile cells and is also involved in cell motility, cytokinesis, and phagocytosis. A P318L mutation has been associated with a colorectal cancer sample.
Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: no entry in AGO
