The Promyelocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger Protein: Two Decades of Molecular Oncology
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) protein, also known as Zbtb16 or Zfp145, was first identified in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, where a reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(11;17)(q23;q21) resulted in a fusion with the RARA gene encoding retinoic acid receptor alpha.
