Description
Product Characteristics:
BCL7B shows high homology to the BCL7A protein, which is known to be directly involved in a complex chromosomal translocation in Burkitt lymphoma cell lines. The specific function of BCL7B has not yet been determined. However, it may play a role in lung tumor development or progression. The BCL7B gene is located at a chromosomal region commonly deleted in the congenital disorder, Williams syndrome.
Synonyms: B cell CLL/lymphoma 7 protein family member B, B cell CLL/lymphoma 7B, BCL 7B, BCL7B_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the BCL7 family including BCL7A, BCL7B and BCL7C proteins. This member is BCL7B, which contains a region that is highly similar to the N-terminal segment of BCL7A or BCL7C proteins. The BCL7A protein is encoded by the gene known to be directly involved in a three-way gene translocation in a Burkitt lymphoma cell line. This gene is located at a chromosomal region commonly deleted in Williams syndrome. This gene is highly conserved from C. elegans to human. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
