YWHAE
YWHAE (14-3-3 protein epsilon) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Sarcomas.
Overview
Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialised signalling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.63 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.94, genetic association 0.00, somatic mutation 0.98).

Biology
Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialised signalling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. Positively regulates phosphorylated protein HSF1 nuclear export to the cytoplasm. Plays a positive role in the antiviral signalling pathway upstream of TBK1 via interaction with RIGI. Mechanistically, directs RIGI redistribution from the cytosol to mitochondrial associated membranes where it mediates MAVS-dependent innate immune signalling during viral infection. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm; Melanosome (UniProt). Locus 17p13.3 (HGNC).

Notes
top- 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: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
