Description : LEF1 is a nuclear protein that is expressed in pre-B and T cells. It binds to a functionally
important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha (TCRA; see 186880) enhancer and confers
maximal enhancer activity. LEF1 belongs to a family of regulatory proteins that share
homology with high mobility group protein-1 (HMG1; 163905) (Waterman et al., 1991;
van Genderen et al., 1994).;
