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: TRRAP
Gene Name: TRRAP
Protein Full Name: Transformation/transcription domain-associated pro
Alias: 350,400 kDa PCAF-associated factor; 350/400 kDa PCAF-associated factor; PAF350,400; PAF350/400; PAF400; STAF40; Tra1; Transformation/transcription domain-associated; TRAP; TR-AP
Mass (Da): 437600
Number AA: 3859
UniProt ID: Q9Y4A5
Locus ID: 8295
COSMIC ID: TRRAP
Gene location on chromosome: 7q22.1
Cancer protein type: UNCLEAR
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: UNCLEAR
Number of cancer specimens: 20162
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 3.01
General distribution of mutations: Multi-site
Location of most mutations: Broad distribution of mutation sites with many point mutations, but no deletions, insertions or complex mutations across the entire protein.
Normal role description: TRRAP is an adapter protein involved in histone acetylation. It is involved in regulation of MYC, p53, E2F1, and E2F4 transcription activation and DNA repair. Its role may also be required for cell cycle progression.
