Normal function

REL encodes the proto-oncogene c-Rel, a protein member of the NF-?B family of transcription factors and contains a Rel homology domain (RHD) at its N-terminus and two C-terminal transactivation domains. Members of this family regulate genes involved in apoptosis, inflammation, the immune response, and oncogenic processes. This proto-oncogene plays a role in the survival and proliferation of B lymphocytes.

Dysfunction and disease

Mutation or amplification of this gene is associated with B-cell lymphomas, including Hodgkin's lymphoma. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [Load More]
