Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1

Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LEF1 gene.[5] It is a member of T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF) family.

Function

edit

Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF1) is a 48-kD nuclear protein that is expressed in pre-B and T cells. It binds to a functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha (TCRA) enhancer and confers maximal enhancer activity. LEF1 belongs to a family of regulatory proteins that share homology with high mobility group protein-1 (HMG1).[6]

Clinical significance

edit

LEF1 is highly overexpressed and associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia[7] and other kinds of malignancies like colorectal cancer.[8] It is also a promising potential drug target.[9]
