| Identity |
| Other names | AF9q34 |
| DIP1/2, | |
| KIAA1743 | |
| HGNC | DAB2IP |
| Location | 9q34 |
| Note | centromeric of ABL |
| DNA/RNA |
| Description | 14 exons stretched over an area of about 84 kb. Exon 1, a noncoding exon, has (at least) three variants. |
| Transcription | in a centromere to telomere direction 5192 bp mRNA; 2903 bp open reading frame. |
| Protein |
| Description | The AF9q34 protein contains a GAP related domain (GRD), an 'FLR'-motif, a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and a calcium/phospho-lipid-binding C2/CALB domain; 967 amino acids. |
| Expression | Expression in all human tissues with a relatively low level of expression in testis, placenta, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes. |
| Function | RasGAPs negatively regulate the activity of Ras proteins that modulate diverse cellular processes by cycling between the inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound state. DAB2 interacting protein. |
| Homology | Homologous to human nGAP (or RAS protein activator like 2 (RASAL2)). |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | t(9;11)(q34;q23) AML --> MLL-AF9q34 |
| Note | Another t(9;11)(q34;q23) AML has been reported with involvement of MLL-FBP17. |
| Disease | Only one case to date, a 62 yr old male patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (M5). |
| Cytogenetics | The case was 46, XY, t(9;11)(q34;q23) and in 40% of the metaphases additional chromosomes 8 and 13 were observed. |

| Schematic representation of MLL, AF9q34, and the putative MLL-AF9q34 fusion protein. Domains in MLL and AF9q34 are shaded: AT, AT-hook DNA binding motifs; SNL1 and SNL2, speckled nuclear localisation signals 1 and 2; CxxC, cysteine rich motif homologous to DNA methyltransferase (MT); PHD, plant homeodomain fingers; FYRN, FYRN domain; FYRC. FYRC domain; SET, SET domain; PH, Pleckstrin Homology Domain; GRD, GAP Related Domain. Arrows indicate the breakpoint (bp) sites in MLL and AF9q34. | |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' MLL fused at exon 9 with the 3' end of AFq34. |
| Abnormal Protein | The MLL-AF9q34 protein includes the entire GAP related domain (GRD) and the C2/CALB domain, but the PH domain is disrupted by the breakpoint in AF9q34. |
