NCIt synonyms : Template-Activating Factor-I, Chromatin Remodelling Factor Gene; TAF-IBETA; 2PP2A; I2PP2A; PHAPII; IPP2A2; TAF-I; SET Nuclear Proto-Oncogene wt Allele; SET Translocation (Myeloid Leukemia-Associated) Gene; MRD58; Protein Phosphatase Type 2A Inhibitor; IGAAD;
NCIt definition : Human SET wild-type allele is located within 9q34 and is approximately 12 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes protein SET, plays a role in histone binding, nucleosome
assembly, transcription and negative regulation of apoptosis. Translocation of the
SET gene is associated with acute undifferentiated leukemia.;
NCIt note : In acute undifferentiated leukemia, the SET gene has been shown to undergo translocation
t(6;9)(q21;q34.1) to form a fusion gene with the NUP214 gene. SET gene expression
is responsive to serum factors, contact inhibition and differentiation. This gene
produces two isoforms of protein SET via alternative RNA splicing.;
