NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein with three HTH DNA-binding domains that functions as a transcription regulator. This protein plays an essential role in the regulation of hematopoiesis. This gene may be aberrently expressed or rearranged or undergo translocation in leukemias and lymphomas, and is considered to be an oncogene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
Uniprot Description
Myb: Transcriptional activator; DNA-binding protein that specifically recognize the sequence 5'-YAAC[GT]G-3'. Plays an important role in the control of proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Transcription factor; Oncoprotein; DNA-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q22-q23
Cellular Component: nuclear matrix; cytosol
