Human Gene BCL9 (uc001epq.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9 (BCL9), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_004326): BCL9 is associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It may be a target of translocation in B-cell malignancies with abnormalities of 1q21. Its function is unknown. The overexpression of BCL9 may be of pathogenic significance in B-cell malignancies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

  ID: BCL9_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9 protein; Short=B-cell lymphoma 9 protein; Short=Bcl-9; AltName: Full=Protein legless homolog;
FUNCTION: Involved in signal transduction through the Wnt pathway. Promotes beta-catenin's transcriptional activity (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Binds to beta-catenin (CTNNB1), PYGO1 and PYGO2.
INTERACTION: P18824:arm (xeno); NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-533127, EBI-216128; Q6P1J9:CDC73; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-533127, EBI-930143; P35222:CTNNB1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-533127, EBI-491549; Q9V9W8:pygo (xeno); NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-533127, EBI-152653; Q9Y3Y4:PYGO1; NbExp=7; IntAct=EBI-533127, EBI-3397474;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected at low levels in thymus, prostate, testis, ovary and small intestine, and at lower levels in spleen, colon and blood.
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BCL9 is found in a patient with precusor 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.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the BCL9 family.
CAUTION: It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-27 is the initiator.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAA73942.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=1391;

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
