MYBL2 encoded by this gene, a member of the MYB family of transcription factor genes, is a nuclear protein involved in cell cycle progression. The encoded protein is phosphorylated by cyclin A/cyclin-dependent kinase 2 during the S-phase of the cell cycle and possesses both activator and repressor activities. It has been shown to activate the cell division cycle 2, cyclin D1, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 genes. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.MYBL2 (MYB Proto-Oncogene Like 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MYBL2 include Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration. Among its related pathways are Cell cycle Cell cycle (generic schema) and HTLV-I infection. GO annotations related to this gene include transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding and RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is MYBL1.
