該基因編碼一種具有三個HTH-DNA結合域的蛋白質，作為轉錄調節器。這種蛋白在造血調節中起著重要作用。該基因可能在白血病和淋巴瘤中異常表達、重排或易位，被認為是癌基因。選擇性剪接導致多個轉錄變體。
This gene encodes a protein with three HTH DNA-binding domains that functions as a transcription regulator. This protein plays an essential role in the regulation of hematopoiesis. This gene may be aberrently expressed or rearranged or undergo translocation in leukemias and lymphomas, and is considered to be an oncogene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
