NCIt synonyms : MHC Class II Transactivator Gene; Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization Domain, Leucine Rich Repeat and Acid Domain Containing
Gene; Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Transactivator wt Allele; MHC2TA; CIITAIV; C2TA; NLRA; NLR Family, Acid Domain Containing Gene; Major Histocompatibility Complex, Class II, Transactivator Gene; Class II, Major Histocompatibility Complex, Transactivator Gene;
NCIt definition : Human CIITA wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13 and is approximately
48 kb in length. This allele, which encodes MHC class II transactivator protein, is
involved in the modulation of MHC class II gene expression.;
NCIt note : Genetic aberrations involving the CITTA gene may be associated with lymphoid cancers.
