NCIt definition : Core-binding factor subunit beta (182 aa, 22 kDa) is encoded by the human CBFB gene.
This protein plays a role in transcriptional regulation.;
NCIt note : Part of the heterodimeric transcription factor Core-Binding Factor. CBF beta does
not bind to DNA directly, but increases the affinity and stabilizes the binding of
the CBF alpha (transcription factor AML1) for the CBF enhancer/promoter DNA site in
TCR genes. CBF appears to regulate hematopoietic differentiation.;
