Gene Overview
The protein encoded by RUNX1 can bind the protein encoded by CBFB to form "Core Binding Factor", a heterodimeric transcription factor, which can bind to DNA as a monomer and through the Runt domain within the Runx1 protein. Chromosomal translocations involving this gene are well-documented and have been associated with several types of leukemia.
