GATA1 GATA binding protein 1

ENSG00000102145 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Transcriptional activator or repressor which serves as a general switch factor for erythroid development (PubMed:35030251). It binds to DNA sites with the consensus sequence 5'-[AT]GATA[AG]-3' within regulatory regions of globin genes and of other genes expressed in erythroid cells. Activates the transcription of genes involved in erythroid differentiation of K562 erythroleukemia cells, including HBB, HBG1/2, ALAS2 and HMBS (PubMed:24245781). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22235304, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24245781, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35030251}.

In 13 of 15 cancers, the evidence for GATA1 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.10560999810695648 (upper bound 0.33243998885154724). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
