NCIt definition : Human HMGB3 wild-type allele is located within Xq28 and is approximately 6 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes high mobility group protein B3, is involved in DNA-dependent
regulation of transcription.;
NCIt note : The HMGB3 gene is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Levels
of HMGB3 mRNA transcripts are significantly higher in embryonic tissues than in adult
tissues. Studies in mice indicate that high mobility group protein B3 is necessary
for maintaining the correct balance between HSC self-renewal and differentiation.;
