SS18 (SS18 subunit of BAF chromatin remodeling complex) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a fusion partner, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Sarcomas and Synovial sarcoma.
Appears to function synergistically with RBM14 as a transcriptional coactivator. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 function in nuclear receptor coactivation. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 function in general transcriptional coactivation.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.64 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.93, genetic association 0.21, somatic mutation 0.97).

No product in this corpus aims at SS18 yet. Transcription factors have no pocket to plug, so drugs either degrade them or block the partner protein they need to dock on DNA.
First described 1994. Earliest sequence paper UniProt cites for the protein: Clark et al, Nat. Genet, 1994, "Identification of novel genes, SYT and SSX, involved in the t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) translocation found in human synovial sarcoma". Source.

Appears to function synergistically with RBM14 as a transcriptional coactivator. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 function in nuclear receptor coactivation. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 function in general transcriptional coactivation. Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subcomplex GBAF that carries out key enzymatic activities, changing chromatin structure by altering DNA-histone contacts within a nucleosome in an ATP-dependent manner. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 18q11.2 (HGNC).
