B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCL11B gene.[5][6][7]

Gene location

BCL11B is located on human chromosome 14p32.2.[8] The mouse analogue is called Rit1 or Bcl11b and is located on mouse chromosome 12.[9]

Function

This gene encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger protein and is closely related to BCL11A, a gene whose translocation may be associated with B-cell malignancies. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined, but it could also be involved in some malignancies. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode distinct isoforms, have been reported.[7]

Research suggests that BCL11B is crucial for

ameloblasts (the cells that produce tooth enamel) to form and work properly.[10]

Interactions
