KLF transcription factor 1

The KLF1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that acts as a transcription factor, which means it attaches (binds) to specific regions of DNA and helps control the activity of particular genes. Specifically, the KLF1 protein helps control the activity of genes that are involved in the differentiation of red blood cells by regulating the final stages of red blood cell development (erythropoiesis).

Normal function

The KLF1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that acts as a transcription factor, which means it attaches (binds) to specific regions of DNA and helps control the activity of particular genes. Specifically, the KLF1 protein helps control the activity of genes that are involved in the differentiation of red blood cells by regulating the final stages of red blood cell development (erythropoiesis).

The KLF1 protein plays an important role in the production of hemoglobin, which is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells and tissues throughout the body. During development, the KLF1 protein regulates the switch from the production of fetal hemoglobin, which is prevalent during embryonic development and early infancy, to the adult form of hemoglobin, which is produced throughout life.
