InnateDB Annotation
Summary
GATA4 activates the transcription of hepcidin antimicrobial peptide in hepatocytes. Friend of GATA (FOG) proteins, ZFPM1 and ZFPM2, moderate this transcription by suppressing the GATA transactivation of hepcidin promoter.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Gata4 activates the transcription of hepcidin antimicrobial peptide in hepatocytes. Friend of GATA (FOG)-proteins ZFPM1 and ZFPM2 moderate this transcription by suppressing the GATA transactivation of hepcidin promoter. (Demonstrated in human)
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a member of the GATA family of zinc-finger transcription factors. Members of this family recognize the GATA motif which is present in the promoters of many genes. This protein is thought to regulate genes involved in embryogenesis and in myocardial differentiation and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cardiac septal defects.
