PCNX2 (Pecanex-like protein 2) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
May play a role in tumorigenesis of colorectal carcinomas with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H).
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.51 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.63, animal model 0.52, genetic association 0.64).
In plain words · PCNX2 (Pecanex-like protein 2) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
