EVI2B (Ecotropic viral integration site 2B protein homolog) is a 448 amino acid protein which functions in the differentiation of melanocytes and keratinocytes. Lying within an intron of the Neurofibromin gene, the gene encoding EVI2B is transcribed from the telomere toward the centromere, which is opposite the transcription direction of the Neurofibromin gene. EVI2B is a single-pass transmembrane protein containing an extracellular domain with 4 glycosylation sites, a N-terminal signal peptide, a cytoplasmic hydrophilic domain and a hydrophobic transmembrane domain. Due to evidence suggesting that gene encoding the mouse homolog lies within a viral integration site that has been identitified in retrovirus-induced myeloid tumors, the gene encoding EVI2B may function as an oncogene in these tumor types. With expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, fibroblasts, bone marrow and EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines, EVI2B is implicated in leukemogenesis.
