| Full name | | Kruppel-like factor 1 (erythroid) |
| Aliases | | ,EKLF,INLU, |
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a hematopoietic-specific transcription factor that induces high-level expression of adult beta-globin and other erythroid genes. The zinc-finger protein binds to the DNA sequence CCACACCCT found in the beta hemoglobin promoter. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in this gene result in the dominant In(Lu) blood phenotype.
