Structural highlights

Function

GATA1_MOUSE Transcriptional activator which probably serves as a general switch factor for erythroid development. It binds to DNA sites with the consensus sequence [AT]GATA[AG] within regulatory regions of globin genes and of other genes expressed in erythroid cells.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
