Gene Description REL, REL proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit, encodes a part of the NF-kB dimer, which acts as a transcription factor to enable proliferation, growth, survival, and maturation of B and T-cells (PMID: 22207895), regulate fibrosis, wound healing, and inflammation, and, in some contexts, support transformation (PMID: 26757421, PMID: 31277415).
