GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RUNX3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AML2, CBFA3, PEBP2A3
Description
Runt-related transcription factor 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the runt domain-containing family of transcription factors. A heterodimer of this protein and a beta subunit forms a complex that binds to the core DNA sequence 5'-PYGPYGGT-3' found in a number of enhancers and promoters, and can either activate or suppress transcription. It also interacts with other transcription factors. It functions as a tumor suppressor, and the gene is frequently deleted or transcriptionally silenced in cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
