c-ABL

An enzyme that is involved in many cell processes, such as cell division. The gene for c-ABL is on chromosome 9. In most people with chronic myelogenous leukemia, the part of chromosome 9 with c-ABL has broken off and traded places with part of chromosome 22 to form the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene.
