NCIt definition : Transcription factor ETV6 (452 aa, 53 kDa) is encoded by the human ETV6 gene. This
protein plays a role in transcriptional repression.;
NCIt note : TEL protein is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors. It has an HLH
motif and an ETS DNA-binding domain. Translocations of the gene produce chimeric proteins
in many leukemias of myeloid or lymphoid origins. Leukemogenic translocations often
fuse the TEL HLH domain with the tyrosine kinase domain of other genes, such as PDGFRB,
NTRK3, and ABL2 or with other transcription factors, such as AML1 and ARNT. (OMIM); Transcription factor ETV6 binds to the DNA sequence 5'-CCGGAAGT-3'. (UniProt);
