Structural highlights

Disease

[MTG8_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving RUNX1T1 is a cause of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2). Translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) with RUNX1/AML1.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Defects in RUNX1T1 may be a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:114500].

Function

[MTG8_HUMAN] Transcription regulator that excerts its function by binding to histone deacetylases and transcription factors. Can repress transactivation mediated by TCF12.^{[5] [6]} [HTF4_HUMAN] Transcriptional regulator. Involved in the initiation of neuronal differentiation. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3').
