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: CREB3L2
Gene Name: CREB3L2
Protein Full Name: Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-li
Alias: BBF2 human homologue on chromosome 7; BBF2H7; CR3L2
Mass (Da): 57429
Number AA: 520
UniProt ID: Q70SY1
Locus ID: 64764
COSMIC ID: CREB3L2
Gene location on chromosome: 7q34
Cancer protein type: OP
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: GAIN
Effect of active protein on cancer: PROMOTES
Number of cancer specimens: 19834
Percent of cancer specimens with mutations: 0.45
Deregulated in translocations: t(7;16)(q33-34;p11); FUS/CREB3L2; fibrosarcoma
Normal role description: CREB3L2 mediates late ER stress response and upregulates gene transcription via the CRE DNA element. Oncogenesis occurs via fusion protein; b-ZIP domain of CREB3L2 is now under control of FUS promoter. B-zip transcription factor targets become disregulated.
