Tree Number(s): G05.360.340.024.340.375.500.791.552
Unique ID: D020573
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020573
Scope Note: Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (v-rel) originally isolated from an avian reticuloendotheliosis virus strain. The proto-oncogene rel (c-rel) codes for a subcellular (nuclear and cytoplasmic) transcription factor that has a role in lymphocyte differentiation. Translocation or overexpression of c-rel or competition from v-rel causes oncogenesis. The human rel gene is located at 2p12-13 on the short arm of chromosome 2.
Entry Term(s): c-rel Genes; c-rel Proto-Oncogenes; rel Genes; rel Oncogene; v-rel Genes; v-rel Oncogenes
