IVD - FP159 MALT1/IGH Gene Fusion t(14; 18) Probe Detection Kit

Cat.# FP-159: MALT1/IGH Gene Fusion t(14; 18) Probe Detection Kit (IVD)

[Overview] 

This gene encodes a caspase-like protease that plays a role in BCL10-induced activation of NF-kappaB. The protein is a component of the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosome that triggers NF-kappaB signaling and lymphoctye activation following antigen-receptor stimulation. Mutations in this gene result in immunodeficiency 12 (IMD12). This gene has been found to be recurrently rearranged in chromosomal translocations with other genes in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas, including a t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation with the baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 3 (also known as apoptosis inhibitor 2) locus [BIRC3(API2)-MALT1], and a t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation with the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH-MALT1).

Immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH) is a gene that encodes for a variable region in immunoglobulins, protein complexes that recognize foreign antigens and initiate immune responses. It is not clear whether IGH mutations have been observed in human cancers.
