AFDN - afadin, adherens junction formation factor Gene
Also Known as AF6; MLLT4; MLL-AF6; l-afadin
Species: Homo sapiens
About AFDN
This gene has 23 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and is associated with 81 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 18.5), lung (RPKM 15.9) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a multi-domain protein involved in signaling and organization of cell junctions during embryogenesis. It has also been identified as the fusion partner of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL-1) gene, involved in acute myeloid leukemias with t(6;11)(q27;q23) translocation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, however, not all have been fully characterized.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
