γ Globin Gene Expression (N/A)

Target
N/A
Molecular classification
Gene Expression, Transcription, Translation
01

Overview

γ globin gene expression refers to the transcription and translation of the gamma-globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2), critical components of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Predominantly active during fetal development, their expression declines postnatally. Reactivation or upregulation is a therapeutic strategy for β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease.
