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

How the counts split by source
Stats by Source

Total = all mutations for this gene across every source.

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

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

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

Function

SLC39A9 · Solute carrier family 39 member 9

Predicted to enable metal ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in transmembrane transport and zinc ion transport. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Isoforms & Proteins

4 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

All 104 amino-acid changes on canonical ENST00000336643 · needle height = samples · drag the mini-map to zoom

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 frequency across cancer types

% of samples with a missense/complex mutation in SLC39A9 · cell line vs tissue

How this frequency is counted
Cancer-type mutation frequency

For each cancer type, the fraction of samples that carry at least one missense/complex mutation anywhere in SLC39A9 – counted as distinct samples (a sample counts once no matter how many mutations it has).

Split into cell line and tissue; each cell shows mutated / total and the percentage. Cohorts with <20 samples are omitted. Ordered by combined frequency.

Mutation Distribution

Where SLC39A9 is mutated · all tissues, split by cell line vs tissue

Mutation counts by tissue
Mutation Distribution

How many mutations in SLC39A9 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.

GTEx Expression

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.
