Facts about Homeobox protein Meis1.
Acts as a transcriptional regulator of PAX6.
Acts as a transcriptional activator of PF4 in complex with PBX1 or PBX2.Required for hematopoiesis, megakaryocyte lineage development and vascular patterning. May serve as a cofactor for HOXA7 and HOXA9 in the induction of myeloid leukemias.

Expressed at low level in normal immunohepatopoietic tissues, including the fetal liver. Expressed in a subset of myeloid leukemia cell lines, with the highest expression seen in those with a megakaryocytic-erythroid phenotype. Also expressed at high levels in the cerebellum.
