OnCo

NUP98 (Nuclear pore complex protein Nup98-Nup96) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a fusion partner, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Skin cancer, Lung cancer, Leukaemia and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Plays a role in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) assembly and/or maintenance. NUP98 and NUP96 are involved in the bidirectional transport across the NPC. May anchor NUP153 and TPR to the NPC. In cooperation with DHX9, plays a role in transcription and alternative splicing activation of a subset of genes. Involved in the localisation of DHX9 in discrete intranuclear foci (GLFG-body). Binding affinity to HIV-1 CA-NC complexes bearing the capsid change Asn-74-Asp is reduced (in vitro). Location: Nucleus membrane; Nucleus, nuclear pore complex; Nucleus, nucleoplasm (UniProt). Locus 11p15.4 (HGNC).
