## TL;DR

ASPSCR1 (Tether containing UBX domain for GLUT4) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a fusion partner, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Sarcomas.

## Summary

Tethering protein that sequesters GLUT4-containing vesicles in the cytoplasm in the absence of insulin. Modulates the amount of GLUT4 that is available at the cell surface. Enhances VCP methylation catalysed by VCPKMT.

Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.61 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.79, genetic association 0.09, somatic mutation 0.96). In OnCo, 1 product record names it (Cediranib).

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: 1 OnCo product record names it; UniProt disease notes describe a translocation or gene fusion involving the gene. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
