NCIt definition : Runt-related transcription factor 1 (453 aa, 49 kDa) is encoded by the human RUNX1
gene. This protein is involved in the promotion of gene transcription and hematopoiesis.;
NCIt note : Part of the heterodimeric transcription factor Core-Binding Factor. The CBFalpha subunit
binds directly to the enhancer core DNA sequence on target genes, whereas the beta
subunit does not bind the DNA directly but increases the affinity and stabilizes the
binding of the alpha subunit to the DNA.;
