Target Information

This gene is expressed ubiquitously with higher levels in fetal than in adult tissues. It encodes a protein sharing 93% sequence identity with the mouse protein. Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a malformation syndrome associated with a hemizygous deletion of the distal short arm of chromosome 4. This gene is mapped to the 165 kb WHS critical region and may play a role in the phenotype of the WHS or Pitt-Rogers-Danks syndrome. The encoded protein is capable of reacting with HLA-A2-restricted and tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, suggesting potential use in specific immunotherapy for cancer. It is also a member of the NELF (negative elongation factor) complex involved in RNA polymerase II transcription elongation regulation.
