Hepatic leukemia factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLF gene.This gene encodes a member of the proline and acidic-rich (PAR) protein family a subset of the bZIP transcription factors. The encoded protein forms homodimers or heterodimers with other PAR family members and binds sequence-specific promoter elements to activate transcription. Chromosomal translocations fusing portions of this gene with the E2A gene cause a subset of childhood B-lineage acute lymphoid leukemias.
