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: Tyro3
Gene Name: TYRO3
Protein Full Name: Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor TYRO3
Alias: BYK; DTK; EC 2.7.1.112; EC 2.7.10.1; RSE; SKY
Mass (Da): 96905
Number AA: 890
UniProt ID: Q06418
Locus ID: 7301
COSMIC ID: TYRO3
Gene location on chromosome: 15q15.1
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 19549
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.73
Normal role description: TYRO3 responds to TUB, TULP1, GAS6 and protein S as ligands and regulates cell survival, proliferation, immunoregulation, phagocytosis, cell migration, actin organization, spermatogenesis, platelet aggregation, clot stabilization, memory formation, circadian rhythm and synaptic plasticity. signalling transduction can occur via MAPK/ERK and Pi3K/AKT pathways. Overexpression by various cancers provide transformative ability and increased survival signals.
