Target Information

The protein encoded by this gene is the beta subunit of a heterodimeric core-binding transcription factor belonging to the PEBP2/CBF transcription factor family, which regulates genes specific to hematopoiesis (e.g., RUNX1) and osteogenesis (e.g., RUNX2).
The beta subunit acts as a non-DNA-binding regulatory component that enhances DNA binding by the alpha subunit. The complex binds to core sites of enhancers and promoters, including those of murine leukemia virus, polyomavirus enhancer, T-cell receptor enhancers, and GM-CSF promoters.
Alternative splicing generates two mRNA variants encoding distinct carboxyl termini. In some cases, a pericentric inversion of chromosome 16 [inv(16)(p13q22)] produces a chimeric transcript combining the N-terminus of core-binding factor beta with the C-terminal portion of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain 11, associated with acute myeloid leukemia (M4Eo subtype).

Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
