Runt-related transcription factor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RUNX3 gene.

Gene data

RUNX3
Name
RUNX family transcription factor 3
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
AML2, CBFA3, PEBP2aC

This gene encodes a member of the runt domain-containing family of transcription factors. A heterodimer of this protein and a beta subunit forms a complex that binds to the core DNA sequence 5'-PYGPYGGT-3' found in a number of enhancers and promoters, and can either activate or suppress transcription. It also interacts with other transcription factors. It functions as a tumor suppressor, and the gene is frequently deleted or transcriptionally silenced in cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016].
