HLF (gene)
Template:Short description Template:Cs1 config
Template:Infobox gene Hepatic leukemia factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLF gene.[1][2]
Function
This gene encodes a member of the proline and acidic-rich (PAR) protein family, a subset of the bZIP transcription factors. The encoded protein forms homodimers or heterodimers with other PAR family members and binds sequence-specific promoter elements to activate transcription. Chromosomal translocations fusing portions of this gene with the E2A gene cause a subset of childhood B-lineage acute lymphoid leukemias. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.[2]
