RUNX1 RUNX family transcription factor 1

Gene ID: 861, updated on 30-May-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AML1; CBFA2; EVI-1; AMLCR1; PEBP2aB; CBF2alpha; AML1-EVI-1; PEBP2alpha

Summary

Core binding factor (CBF) is a heterodimeric transcription factor that binds to the core element of many enhancers and promoters. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit of CBF and is thought to be involved in the development of normal hematopoiesis. Chromosomal translocations involving this gene are well-documented and have been associated with several types of leukemia. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
