AFF1 - ALF transcription elongation factor 1 Gene
Also Known as AF4; FEL; PBM1; MLLT2
Species: Homo sapiens
About AFF1
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 86 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 30.6), fat (RPKM 17.7) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the AF4/ lymphoid nuclear protein related to the Fragile X E syndrome (FRAXE) family of proteins, which have been implicated in human childhood lymphoblastic leukemia, fragile chromosome X intellectual disability, and ataxia. It is the prevalent mixed-lineage leukemia fusion gene associated with spontaneous acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Members of this family have three conserved domains: an N-terminal homology domain, an AF4/ lymphoid nuclear protein domain, and a C-terminal homology domain. The protein functions as a regulator of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription through elongation and chromatin remodeling functions. Through RNA interference screens, this gene has been shown to promote the expression of CD133, a plasma membrane glycoprotein required for leukemia cell survival. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
