GATA

gene activation transcription factor(English)

  • refers to a family of transcription factors belonging to zinc-finger proteins. It is a type of protein that plays a role in the regulation of gene expression, which is the process by which the information in a gene is converted into a functional product, such as a protein. GATA proteins bind to specific DNA sequences in the genome and activate the transcription of genes that contain those sequences. They are involved in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes, including development, differentiation, and immune response. Dysregulation of GATA proteins has been linked to a number of diseases, including cancer, anemia, and cardiovascular disease
