| Note | must not be confused with CALM1 (calmodulin 1, sitting in 14q24-31), or with neurofibromatosis type 6 (also called CALM, for: cafe au lait spots multiple); therefore the name is likely to change |
| DNA/RNA |
| Transcription | major mRNA: 4 kb; other: 3 and 9 kb |
| Protein |
| Description | 652 amino acids |
| Function | role in the integration of signals from different pathways (clathrin, phosphoinositols, receptor-mediated endocytosis) |
| Homology | with ap-3, a clathrin assembly protein (mouse) |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | t(10;11)(p13;q14-21) --> CALM-AF10 and/or AF10-CALM |
| Disease | yet to be well delineated; T-cell ALL |
| Prognosis | uncertain (median survival 2 yrs?) |
| Cytogenetics | may well be confused with the t(10;11)(p12;q23), where MLL on 11q23 is involved, instead of CALM |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' CALM - 3' AF10 and 5' AF10 - 3' CALM |
| Abnormal Protein | both CALM-AF10 and the reciprocal AF10-CALM are expressed |

| The t(10;11)(p13;q14) in the U937 cell line results in the fusion of the AF10 gene and CALM, encoding a new member of the AP-3 clathrin assembly protein family. |
