GATA2 GATA binding protein 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2624)

Symbol: GATA2

Full name: GATA binding protein 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: DCML; IMD21; MONOMAC; NFE1B

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the GATA family of zinc-finger transcription factors that are named for the consensus nucleotide sequence they bind in the promoter regions of target genes. The encoded protein plays an essential role in regulating transcription of genes involved in the development and proliferation of hematopoietic and endocrine cell lineages. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
