The protein encoded by this gene is an orphan homeobox protein that encodes a DNA-binding nuclear transcription factor. A translocation [t(5;14)(q35;q32)] involving this gene is associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) in children and young adults. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015].

T-cell leukemia homeobox protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLX3 gene.

RNX (HOX11L2, TLX3) belongs to a family of orphan homeobox genes that encode DNA-binding nuclear transcription factors. Members of the HOX11 gene family are characterized by a threonine-47 replacing cytosine in the highly conserved homeodomain (Dear et al., 1993).[supplied by OMIM]
