DCAF12L2 (DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 12-like protein 2) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Colorectal cancer, Prostate cancer, Glioma & glioblastoma and 1 more.
UniProt has no function text for Q5VW00; HGNC names it "DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 12 like 2".
IntOGen calls it a driver in 4 cohorts (3 activating, 1 loss-of-function), covering Colon Adenocarcinoma, Glioblastoma Multiforme, Lung Adenocarcinoma, Prostate Adenocarcinoma.
