'''GATA5''' is a gene that in humans is encoded by the GATA5 protein. It is a member of the [[GATA family]] of [[zinc finger proteins]]. These proteins are named for the GATA motif, a zinc finger DNA-binding domain that recognizes the sequence G-A-T-A. GATA5 is known to play a crucial role in the development and differentiation of multiple organ systems.

== Function ==
GATA5 is a transcription factor that binds to the [[zinc finger domain]] of DNA and controls the transcription of downstream genes. It is involved in the development of the [[heart]], [[gastrointestinal tract]], and [[nervous system]]. GATA5 is also implicated in the regulation of [[cell differentiation]] and [[cell proliferation]].
GATA5 plays a crucial role in the development of various [[tissues]] and [[organs]], particularly in the [[cardiovascular system]]. It is involved in the regulation of [[cardiac muscle]] development and function. GATA5 is also implicated in the development of the [[endoderm]], which gives rise to the [[gastrointestinal tract]] and associated organs.

GATA5 is a gene that encodes a member of the GATA transcription factor family. These transcription factors are characterized by their ability to bind to the GATA DNA sequence and regulate the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation and development.

Function[edit]

GATA5 plays a crucial role in the development of various tissues and organs, particularly in the cardiovascular system. It is involved in the regulation of cardiac muscle development and function. GATA5 is also implicated in the development of the endoderm, which gives rise to the gastrointestinal tract and associated organs.

Clinical Significance[edit]

Mutations in the GATA5 gene have been associated with several congenital heart defects, including atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. Research suggests that GATA5 may also play a role in the development of certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer.

Interactions[edit]

GATA5 interacts with other members of the GATA family, such as GATA4 and GATA6, to regulate gene expression. These interactions are important for the proper development of the heart and other organs.
