Pre-B-cell leukemia homeobox protein 1 (PBX1)

Target
PBX1
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, Homeodomain protein, TALE homeobox protein
01

Overview

Pre-B-cell leukemia homeobox protein 1 (PBX1) is a transcription factor crucial for development, cell differentiation, and proliferation. It functions primarily in hematopoiesis and organogenesis. PBX1 forms heterodimers with other homeobox proteins like HOX and MEIS, regulating gene expression. A key pathological association is the t(1;19)(q23;p13) translocation, resulting in the E2A-PBX1 fusion protein, a driver of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
