ZMIZ1
ZMIZ1 (Zinc finger MIZ domain-containing protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer, Prostate cancer and Colorectal cancer.
Overview
Acts as a transcriptional coactivator. Increases ligand-dependent transcriptional activity of AR and promotes AR sumoylation. The stimulation of AR activity is dependent upon sumoylation.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.58 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.91, genetic association 0.73).

- 1 · What it is
ZMIZ1 (Zinc finger MIZ domain-containing protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer, Prostate cancer and Colorectal cancer.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Acts as a transcriptional coactivator. Increases ligand-dependent transcriptional activity of AR and promotes AR sumoylation.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at ZMIZ1 yet. Transcription factors have no pocket to plug, so drugs either degrade them or block the partner protein they need to dock on DNA.

Biology
Acts as a transcriptional coactivator. Increases ligand-dependent transcriptional activity of AR and promotes AR sumoylation. The stimulation of AR activity is dependent upon sumoylation. Also functions as a transcriptional coactivator in the TGF-beta signalling pathway by increasing the activity of the SMAD3/SMAD4 transcriptional complex. Involved in transcriptional activation of a subset of NOTCH1 target genes including MYC. Involved in thymocyte and T cell development. Location: Nucleus, nucleoplasm; Cytoplasm; Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 10q22.3 (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.
