Preferred Label : T-Cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Protein 1;
NCIt synonyms : SCL; T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma Protein 5; Stem Cell Leukemia Hematopoietic Transcription Factor; TAL-1; Stem Cell Protein; TAL1; Class A Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 17; TAL1 Gene Product; bHLHa17; T-Cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia 1 Protein; SCL Transcription Factor;
NCIt definition : T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 (331 aa, 34 kDa) is encoded by the human
TAL1 gene. This protein plays a role in transcriptional regulation and hematopoiesis.;
NCIt note : A probable positive hematopoietic transcriptional regulator, TAL1 belongs to the bHLH
family and binds DNA as a hetero-dimer with E12 and E47, which recognize the enhancer
E-box DNA motif (5'-CANNTG-3'). TAL1 also binds Rhombotin-2 and DRG1. Some T-ALL leukemias
involve TAL1 and TCRA gene translocations, t(1;14)(p32;q11). (from SWISS-PROT P17542,
OMIM 187040, and NCI);
