In addition, AML cells overexpressing WT BCAT 1 had lower ROS, and the number of bone marrow markers (CD11b, CD14, CD68, and CD36) that marked cell differentiation on the cell surface was lower, suggesting the involvement of the BCAT 1 CXXC motif in ROS buffering and cell development in AML cells. The gene discussed is CD68; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
