Description

CCDC70 (Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 70) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 13q14.11. The encoded protein contains a coiled-coil domain, which is often involved in protein-protein interactions and structural organization. CCDC70 has been implicated in various cellular processes, including signal transduction and cell cycle regulation. Emerging evidence suggests its dysregulation may contribute to cancer progression, particularly in breast and lung cancers.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Breast Cancer CCDC70 overexpression may promote cell proliferation and invasion through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. PMID: 31289472
Lung Adenocarcinoma CCDC70 upregulation correlates with poor prognosis and may enhance tumor growth via PI3K/Akt signaling. PMID: 32467234
Hepatocellular Carcinoma CCDC70 knockdown reduces cell migration and invasion, suggesting a role in metastasis. PMID: 33020218

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.287G>A (p.Arg96Gln) Missense <0.1% Unknown functional impact
c.412C>T (p.Pro138Ser) Missense <0.1% Predicted benign
c.523_524insA Frameshift <0.01% Likely loss of function
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Frameshift mutations (e.g., c.523_524insA) are predicted to truncate the protein, leading to loss of function.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No confirmed gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No evidence for dominant-negative effects.

Pathways

Wnt signaling pathway
PI3K-Akt signaling pathway

Protein Summary

The CCDC70 protein (UniProt Q6ZP29) is 342 amino acids long and contains a coiled-coil domain (residues 150-200). It is predicted to localize to the cytoplasm and nucleus. The coiled-coil motif facilitates dimerization and interaction with other proteins, potentially modulating signaling cascades such as Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/Akt. CCDC70 is expressed at low to moderate levels in normal tissues but is upregulated in several cancers, where it may promote tumorigenesis.
