U2AF1 U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1

ENSG00000160201 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Plays a critical role in both constitutive and enhancer- dependent splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions required for accurate 3'-splice site selection. Recruits U2 snRNP to the branch point. Directly mediates interactions between U2AF2 and proteins bound to the enhancers and thus may function as a bridge between U2AF2 and the enhancer complex to recruit it to the adjacent intron. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22158538, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25311244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8647433}.

In 15 of 15 cancers, the evidence for U2AF1 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e – (upper bound –). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of U2AF1's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of U2AF1's drugs are registered
