GATA1 is the founding member of a family of transcription factors distinguished by a zinc finger domain that recognizes the DNA consensus motif (A/T)GATA(A/G). Functionally important GATA motifs have been identified in the regulatory regions of virtually all erythroid-expressed genes, including globins, heme biosynthetic enzymes, erythroid transcription factors and erythroid membrane proteins. GATA1 is thus a DNA-binding protein, essential for the survival and maturation of lineage-committed erythroid precursors. GATA1 is required for normal erythropoiesis. Human GATA1 gene is mapped to chromosomal region Xp11.23.
