Gata1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; p53 binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in platelet aggregation; regulation of definitive erythrocyte differentiation; and regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; positive regulation of osteoblast proliferation; and regulation of primitive erythrocyte differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and mesenchyme derived from lateral plate. Used to study myelodysplastic syndrome; myelofibrosis; and thrombocytopenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including X-linked recessive disease (multiple); beta thalassemia; colon adenocarcinoma; depressive disorder; and hematologic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human GATA1 (GATA binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gata1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
