| Description | 5 exons, with a CpG island in 5' of the gene |
| Transcription | the major transcript is the longest transcript: (5941 bp); other transcripts of 3.8 kb and 1.5 kb; alternate splices in exon 4 |
| Protein |
![]() | |
| Description | 835 amino acids, predicted molecular weight of 91.3 kDa for the longest isoform, called BCL11AXL, with 6 Kruppel C2H2 zinc fingers, a prolin rich domain, and an acidic domain; 773 and 243 amino acids for the BCL11AL and the BCL11AS respectively |
| Expression | expressed in the fetal brain; low level or undetectable expression in most adult tissues, apart from lymph nodes, thymus, and bone marrow. |
| Function | contains DNA binding motifs (Zn fingers) |
| Homology | Evi9 (mouse); human BCL11B (14q32.1) |
| Implicated in |
| Note | |
| Entity | t(2;14)(p13;q32) in B-cell malignancies |
| Disease | chronic lymphocytic leukemia / immunocytoma aggressive disease; possibly also other t(2;14)(p13;q32) in other B-ell diseases (acute lymphocytic leukemia, myeloma, ...) involve the same genes, but probably not Hodgkin disease cases with 2p amplification |
| Cytogenetics | most often the sole anomaly |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | head to head translocation of BCL11A with IGH switch sequences on the der(2) |
| Oncogenesis | BCL11A is overexpressed |
