BAALC (Brain and Acute Leukemia Cytoplasmic)is a gene that has been associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The gene is conserved among mammals and is not found in lower organisms. Tissues that express this gene develop from the neuroectoderm. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene; however some of the transcript variants are found only in AML cell lines.
