AML1 MTG8, CBFA2T2, Core binding factor runt domain alpha subunit 2 translocated to 2, EHT, ETO homolog on chromosome 20, ETO homologous on chromosome 20, MTG 8 like protein, MTG 8 related protein 1, MTG8 like protein, MTG8 related protein 1, MTG8-like protein, MTG8-related protein 1, MTG8R_HUMAN, MTGR 1, Myeloid translocation gene related protein 1, Myeloid translocation related protein 1, Myeloid translocation-related protein 1, p85, Protein CBFA2T2, ZMYND 3, ZMYND3.
May function as a complex with the chimeric protein RUNX1/AML1-CBFA2T1/MTG8 which is produced in acute myeloid leukemia with the chromosomal translocation t(8,21). May thus be involved in the repression of AML1-dependent transcription and the induction of G-CSF/CSF3-dependent cell growth. May be a tumor suppressor gene candidate involved in myeloid tumors with the deletion of the 20q11 region.Tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Highly expressed in adult brain, heart, lung, kidney, lymph node, appendix, thymus, testis, uterus, small intestine, prostate and thymus.
