RUNX1 Antibody

Runt-related transcription factor 1, also known as AML1 or CBFA2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RUNX1 gene. It belongs to the Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) family of genes which are also called Core binding factor alpha (CBFa). RUNX1 is a transcription factor that regulates the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into mature blood cells. RUNX proteins form a heterodimeric complex with CBFb which confers increased DNA binding and stability to the complex. Chromosomal translocations involving the gene are associated with several types of leukemia including M2 AML. Mutations are implicated in cases of breast cancer.
