Stats by Source

Global, split by cell line (COSMIC CL / DepMap / PubMed) vs tissue (COSMIC primary tissue)

How the counts split by source
Stats by Source

Global = all mutations for this gene across every source.

Cell line = COSMIC Cell Lines Project + DepMap + PubMed.

Tissue = COSMIC primary-tissue (patient tumour) samples.

Global can exceed cell line + tissue: COSMIC tissue-derived models sit only in global, and a peptide can be shared across both.

Function

EIF4E2 · Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 2

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of miRNA mediated inhibition of translation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of translation. Located in P-body. Part of mRNA cap binding activity complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Isoforms & Proteins

7 transcripts · UniProt mapping is sequence-verified (AA-safe)

About the isoform mapping
Isoforms & Proteins

Each Ensembl transcript (ENST) this gene is mutated on, with its matched UniProt accession.

The mapping is sequence-verified: the UniProt sequence is identical to the transcript translation, so amino-acid positions line up exactly. A * marks an unreviewed (TrEMBL) entry.

Counts are mutations and unique mutant peptides on each transcript.

Recurrent Mutations

Top recurrent amino-acid changes along the protein · needle height = number of mutations

What this lollipop shows
Recurrent Mutations

A lollipop / needle plot – the standard way to show recurrent mutations along a protein (as used by cBioPortal and MutationMapper).

X-axis = amino-acid position in the protein.

Needle height & head size = how often that exact amino-acid change was observed (its recurrence). Tall/large heads are mutational hotspots.

The most recurrent changes are labelled; hover any needle for the change, position and counts.

Mutation Distribution

Where EIF4E2 is mutated · all tissues, split by cell line vs tissue

Mutation counts by tissue
Mutation Distribution

How many mutations in EIF4E2 were found in each tissue, across the whole database.

Each bar is a tissue (cell-line and tissue names are merged to the standard tissue), split into cell line and tissue (patient tumour) contributions.

This shows the cancer-context where this gene is recurrently altered.

About the expression data
GTEx Expression

Median gene expression (TPM) in normal, non-cancer human tissues from the GTEx project.

Useful for judging tumour specificity – a strong neoantigen target ideally comes from a gene with low expression in healthy tissues.

About the mutation list
Mutations

Every mutation record for this gene, across all samples and sources.

The Sample column links to the cell line (cell-line samples) or the tissue type (tissue samples).

Use the Type / Source filters, the search box, and column sorting to explore; each CAN-IMMUNE ID opens the full mutation & peptide view.
