TCL1 is activated by chromosomal rearrangement or by hypomethylation
1 Jan 2001

TCL1 is an oncogene activated by recurrent reciprocal translocations at chromosome segment 14q32.1 in the most common of the mature T-cell malignancies, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. It acts to transport Akt1 to the nucleus and enhance Akt1's serine-threonine kinase activity. TCL1 is also expressed in the B-cell malignancy, Burkitt's lymphoma (BL).
