Anti-BTG1

This gene is a member of an anti-proliferative gene family that regulates cell growth and differentiation. Expression of this gene is highest in the G0/G1 phases of the cell cycle and downregulated when cells progressed through G1. The encoded protein interacts with several nuclear receptors, and functions as a coactivator of cell differentiation. This locus has been shown to be involved in a t(8,12)(q24,q22) chromosomal translocation in a case of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Protein function: Anti-proliferative protein.
