GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KLF1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EKLF
Description
Kruppel-like factor 1 (erythroid) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This 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.
