Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including heart development; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to BMP stimulus and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and respiratory system. Used to study essential hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); atrial fibrillation (multiple); congenital heart disease (multiple); and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human GATA5 (GATA binding protein 5).
