T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia 2, also known as TAL2, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TAL2 gene.[5][6]

Function

[edit]

TAL2 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors.[7]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Tumor-specific alterations of the TAL2 gene occurs in some patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).[6][8]
