ANO7 (Anoctamin-7) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Prostate cancer.
Has calcium-dependent phospholipid scramblase activity; scrambles phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine and galactosylceramide. Does not exhibit calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) activity. May play a role in cell-cell interactions.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.58 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.87, genetic association 0.73).
In plain words · ANO7 (Anoctamin-7) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Prostate cancer.
