| UniProt functional annotation for O00512 | |||
| UniProt code: O00512. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Involved in signal transduction through the Wnt pathway. Promotes beta-catenin's transcriptional activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11955446}. | |
| Subunit: | Binds to beta-catenin (CTNNB1), PYGO1 and PYGO2; the interaction with PYGO1 increases PYGO1 affinity to histone H3 methylated at 'Lys 4'. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17052462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18498752}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Detected at low levels in thymus, prostate, testis, ovary and small intestine, and at lower levels in spleen, colon and blood. | |
| Disease: | Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BCL9 is found in a patient with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Translocation t(1;14)(q21;q32). This translocation leaves the coding region intact, but may have pathogenic effects due to alterations in the expression level of BCL9. Several cases of translocations within the 3'-UTR of BCL9 have been found in B-cell malignancies. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9490669}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the BCL9 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=CAA73942.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
