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: ETS2
Gene Name: ETS2
Protein Full Name: Protein C-ets-2
Alias: C-ets-2 protein; ETS2; v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene 2
Mass (Da): 53001
Number AA: 469
UniProt ID: P15036
Locus ID: 2114
COSMIC ID: ETS2
Gene location on chromosome: 21q22.2
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN
