    basic FUNCTION
  • repressor, having protein binding activity
  • regulating differentiation in stages or lineages different from those regulated by BCL6
  • required for the enhanced magnitude of the secondary response of memory CD8(+) T cells
  • BCL6 and BCL6B regulate hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) homeostasis by an indirect pathway involving CD8 T cell
  • mediates KDR and Notch cross-signaling in angiogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
