Summary

PTMA (prothymosin alpha, HGNC:9623) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q37.1, encoding Prothymosin alpha (P06454). Prothymosin alpha may mediate immune function by conferring resistance to certain opportunistic infections. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 54.9% of cell lines).

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and histone binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm.
