TLX1

T-cell leukemia homeobox protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLX1 gene, which was initially named HOX11.^{[5][6][7][8][9]} As a transcription factor, TLX1 is involved in regulating which genes are transcribed, and therefore which proteins are produced by cells. In particular, it appears to be necessary for embryonic spleen development, since mice without a functional copy of the gene are born without a spleen. Chromosomal translocations of this gene can cause abnormal activation, and lead to T-cell leukemia, which is where the first part of the name comes from, while homeobox refers to the family of transcription factors it belongs to.^[10]
