Annotation: abl stands for "ABelson Leukemia"
Scope Note: Retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (abl) originally isolated from the Abelson murine leukemia virus (Ab-MuLV). The proto-oncogene abl (c-abl) codes for a protein that is a member of the tyrosine kinase family. The human c-abl gene is located at 9q34.1 on the long arm of chromosome 9. It is activated by translocation to bcr on chromosome 22 in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Entry Term(s): abl Genes; abl Oncogene; bcr-abl Proto-Oncogenes; bcr-v-abl Oncogenes; c-abl Genes; c-abl Proto-Oncogenes; v-abl Genes; v-abl Oncogenes
