AFF3 - ALF transcription elongation factor 3 Gene
Also Known as KINS; LAF4; MLLT2-like
Species: Homo sapiens
About AFF3
This gene has 28 transcripts (splice variants), 192 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 89 phenotypes. Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 4.8), lymph node (RPKM 3.7) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a tissue-restricted nuclear transcriptional activator that is preferentially expressed in lymphoid tissue. Isolation of this protein initially defined a highly conserved LAF4/MLLT2 gene family of nuclear transcription factors that may function in lymphoid development and oncogenesis. In some ALL patients, this gene has been found fused to the gene for MLL. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene.
