Gene: SPIB

Alternate names for this Gene: SPI-B

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator that binds to the PU-box (5'-GAGGAA-3') and acts as a lymphoid-specific enhancer. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33

Description of this Gene: Spi-B transcription factor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
