Globin transcription factor 1 (GATA-1) is a transcription activator belonging to the GATA family of transcription factors with importance in cell growth. GATA-1 is a Cys2-Cys2 zinc finger DNA binding protein commonly found in erthroid (red blood cell) and emagkaryotic (platelet producing cell) and it is critical in the development process of both. It binds to the consensus sequence of [AT]GATA[AG] within regulatory regions of globin genes and genes in erythroid cells, leading to transcription of alpha spectrin structural protein necessary for red blood cell's shape. In human, GATA-1 can enhance transcription rate up to 100 times. Mutation to GATA-1 encoding gene has been implicated to X-linked dyserythropoietic anemia, thrombocytopenia, Down's syndrome in children, congenital transient myeloproliferative syndrome, and acute megakaryocytic leukemia.
