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: TTLL3
Gene Name: TTLL3
Protein Full Name: Tubulin monoglycylase TTLL3
Alias: HOTTL;Tubulin--tyrosine ligase-like protein 3
Mass (Da): 87414
Number AA: 772
UniProt ID: Q9Y4R7
Locus ID: 26140
COSMIC ID: TTLL3
Gene location on chromosome: 3p25.3
