RUNX1T1 RUNX1 partner transcriptional co-repressor 1

Gene ID: 862, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CDR; ETO; MTG8; AML1T1; ZMYND2; CBFA2T1; AML1-MTG8

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the myeloid translocation gene family which interact with DNA-bound transcription factors and recruit a range of corepressors to facilitate transcriptional repression. The t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation is one of the most frequent karyotypic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia. The translocation produces a chimeric gene made up of the 5'-region of the runt-related transcription factor 1 gene fused to the 3'-region of this gene. The chimeric protein is thought to associate with the nuclear corepressor/histone deacetylase complex to block hematopoietic differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
