| UniProt Protein Function: | GATA5: Binds to the functionally important CEF-1 nuclear protein binding site in the cardiac-specific slow/cardiac troponin C transcriptional enhancer. May play an important role in the transcriptional program(s) that underlies smooth muscle cell diversity. Rare variants in GATA5 may be a cause of susceptibility to atrial fibrillation, a common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by disorganized atrial electrical activity and ineffective atrial contraction promoting blood stasis in the atria and reduces ventricular filling. It can result in palpitations, syncope, thromboembolic stroke, and congestive heart failure. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q13.33 Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; nucleus; transcription factor complex Molecular Function:chromatin binding; RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, enhancer binding; transcription factor activity; zinc ion binding Biological Process: anatomical structure formation; blood coagulation; cell development; cell fate commitment; heart development; organ morphogenesis; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains two GATA-type zinc fingers. The encoded protein is known to bind to hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha), and this interaction is essential for cooperative activation of the intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase promoter. In other organisms, similar proteins may be involved in the establishment of cardiac smooth muscle cell diversity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
