Target intelligence / Profile preview
γ-globin Gene Promoter (γ-globin promoter)
- Target
- γ-globin promoter
- Molecular classification
- DNA regulatory sequence, Promoter, Cis-regulatory element
01
Overview
The γ-globin gene promoter is a regulatory DNA sequence upstream of the human γ-globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2). It controls the transcriptional activity of these genes, which are primarily expressed during fetal development and silenced after birth. Regulation of this promoter is central to developmental hemoglobin switching and a therapeutic target for hemoglobinopathies.
