Gene: DLEU2
Alternate names for this Gene: ALT1|BCMSUN|DLB2|LEU2|LINC00022|MIR15AHG|NCRNA00022|RFP2|RFP2OS|TRIM13OS
Gene Summary: This locus represents a microRNA host gene and also produces long alternatively spliced non-coding RNAs. This genome region was observed to be deleted or epigenetically suppressed in leukemia, and was implicated as a negative regulator of cell proliferation. However, an alternative transcript produced at this locus was also found to promote progression through the cell cycle via angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 and cyclin D1.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 13
Location in Chromosome : 13q14.2
Description of this Gene: deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 2
Type of Gene: ncRNA
