ELT-1

WormBase ID: WBGene00001249

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human GATA1 (GATA binding protein 1). Exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II intronic transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including epidermal cell fate specification; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and spermatid development. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including hyp7; hyp7; hyp7; seam cell; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including Down syndrome; congenital heart disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple).
