Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
The proto-oncogene c-Rel is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REL gene .[ 5] The c-Rel protein is a member of the NF-κB family of transcription factors and contains a Rel homology domain (RHD ) at its N-terminus and two C-terminal transactivation domains. c-Rel is a myeloid checkpoint protein that can be targeted for treating cancer.[ 6] c-Rel has an important role in B-cell survival and proliferation. The REL gene is amplified or mutated in several human B-cell lymphomas , including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma .[ 7]
