Summary

AFF3 (ALF transcription elongation factor 3, HGNC:6473) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q11.2, encoding AF4/FMR2 family member 3 (P51826). Putative transcription activator that may function in lymphoid development and oncogenesis.

This gene encodes a tissue-restricted nuclear transcriptional activator that is preferentially expressed in lymphoid tissue. Isolation of this protein initially defined a highly conserved LAF4/MLLT2 gene family of nuclear transcription factors that may function in lymphoid development and oncogenesis. In some ALL patients, this gene has been found fused to the gene for MLL. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene.
