TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional       loss of function
resulted in a reduced calcium influx upon TCR crosslinking and subsequent poor activation of the transcription factor NFAT
tumoral     --over  
highly expressed and plays a key role in cell migration and invasion in mesothelioma
tumoral     --over  
of ANHAK and TMEFF1 in ovarian cancer indicated a higher degree of tumor malignancy and a worse prognosis

    cancerreproductiveovary
    the interaction between AHNAK and TMEFF1 may become a potential anti-tumor target for ovarian cancer treatment
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Ahnak-deficient mice were protected from high-fat diet-induced obesity
  • Ahnak deficiency plays a positive role for hippocampal neurogenesis in adult mice because proliferating cells were increased in Ahnak(-/-) mice and advanced to mature neurons
