In silico analysis of fragile histidine triad involved in regression of carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (hcca) is a primary malignancy of the liver. many different proteins are involved in hcca including insulin growth factor (igf) ii,signal transducers and activators of transcription (stat) 3,stat4,mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (smad 4),fragile histidine triad (fhit) and selective internal radiation therapy (sirt) etc. the present study is based on the bioinformatics analysis of fhit protein in order to understand the proteomics aspect and improvement of the diagnosis of the disease based on the protein. different information related to protein were gathered from different databases,including national centre for biotechnology information (ncbi) gene,protein and online mendelian inheritance in man (omim) databases,uniprot database,string database and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (kegg) database. moreover,the structure of the protein and evaluation of the quality of the structure were included from easy modeler programme. hence,this analysis not only helped to gather information related to the protein at one place,but also analysed the structure and quality of the protein to conclude that the protein has a role in carcinoma. © 2017,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
