NFE2L1 NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 1

Gene ID: 4779, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NRF1; NRF-1; TCF11; LCR-F1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is involved in globin gene expression in erythrocytes. Confusion has occurred in bibliographic databases due to the shared symbol of NRF1 for this gene, NFE2L1, and for "nuclear respiratory factor 1" which has an official symbol of NRF1.
