GATA-5: ELISA Kits

GATA proteins are transcriptional coactivators with two GATA-type zinc fingers. GATAs bind to the consensus DNA sequence (A/T) GATA (A/G) to control diverse tissue-specific programs of gene expression and morphogenesis. GATA-1, -2, -3 are selectively expressed in hematopoietic and endothelial cells, while GATA-4, -5, and -6 are expressed in developing heart and gut-derived tissues. GATA-1 and -3 exist in multiple alternatively spliced isoforms.

GATA-5 is important in the development and differentiation of endoderm-derived organs, including heart and gastrointestinal tissues. GATA-5 has also been implicated in cancer development.
