B cell leukemia/lymphoma 6

Gene Summary

Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in B-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Orthologous to human BCL6 (BCL6 transcription repressor).
