Gene information for KLF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10661
Official gene symbolKLF1
Full nameKruppel-like factor 1 (erythroid)
Aliases,EKLF,INLU,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a hematopoietic-specific transcription factor that induces high-level expression of adult beta-globin and other erythroid genes. The zinc-finger protein binds to the DNA sequence CCACACCCT found in the beta hemoglobin promoter. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in this gene result in the dominant In(Lu) blood phenotype.
