Abstract excerpt
The KLF1 gene synthesizes a transcription factor in the zinc finger structure that regulates the transcription of β-, γ-globin, and Foxm1 genes. This factor plays an important role in the erythropoiesis mechanism by modifying the chromatin structure and is involved in the regulation of transcription in the opening of the β-globin gene. β-globin gene expression could be disrupted by a mutation, which may be a...
