Facts about Zinc finger protein ZFPM1.
Such heterodimer can both activate or repress transcriptional activity, depending upon the cell and promoter context. The heterodimer formed with GATA proteins is vital to activate expression of genes like NFE2, ITGA2B, alpha- and beta-globin, while it represses expression of KLF1.

Mainly expressed in hematopoietic tissues. Expressed in the spleen, a primary site of hematopoiesis in the adult mouse, as well as in the liver and testis, but not in the heart, brain, lung, kidney, or skeletal muscle. Among hematopoietic cell lines, it is strongly expressed in erythroid and megakaryocytic cell lines. Expressed at low level in several lymphoid and early myeloid cell lines. Not expressed in mast cell and macrophage lines. Expressed in the heart, where it colocalizes with GATA4, GATA5 and GATA6.
