Number AA: 463
UniProt ID: Q9Y230
Locus ID: 10856
COSMIC ID: RUVBL2
Gene location on chromosome: 19q13.33
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 19718

Normal role description: Possesses single-stranded DNA-stimulated ATPase and ATP-dependent DNA helicase (5' to 3') activity. Interacts with c-myc oncogene to transcribe various gene targets. Also modulates transcriptional regulation by the beta-catenin/TCF-LEF complex. Upregulated in numerous cancer systems. Oncogenesis likely meditated via c-myc and beta-catenin pathway upregulation
