General description

GATA-1 (GATA1), or alternatively Gata-binding factor 1, GF-1, NF-E1 DNA binding protein, and Erythroid transcription factor (EryF1) encoded by the human gene named GATA1/ERYF1/GF1 is transcriptional activator central for erythroid development. GATA1 also plays critical roles in controlling gene expression in other system as well. Research has shown that GATA1 contributes to the level of alpha synuclein gene expression in Parkinson's disease and over expression of GATA1 in cortical neurons leads to a decrease in the expression of Rab4b and reduces dendrite branching and maturation, and GATA1 expression is elevated in brains with depressive disorder suggesting that GATA1 may be new target for anti-depressant therapies. EMD-Millipore's Anti-GATA1 mouse monoclonal antibody has been tested in western blot on K562 cell lysates and paraffin embedded immunohistochemistry on pancreatic cancer tissues and in fluorescent immunocytochemistry on K562 cells in culture.
