  • Subunit: Interacts with ZNF260 (By similarity). Interacts with the homeobox domain of NKX2-5 through its C-terminal zinc finger. Also interacts with JARID2 which represses its ability to activate transcription of ANF. Interacts with NFATC4 and LMCD1 (By similarity). Forms a complex made of CDK9, CCNT1/cyclin-T1, EP300 and GATA4 that stimulates hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes. Interacts with NR5A1 and ZFPM2 1 PDB 3D structure from [IMAGE] and Proteopedia [IMAGE] for GATA4: 2M9W (3D) [IMAGE]
  • Function:
    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary: GATA4_HUMAN, P43694 Function: Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AGATAG-3' and plays a key role in cardiac development. Acts as a transcriptional activator of ANF in cooperation with NKX2-5. Promotes cardiac myocyte enlargement. Required during testicular development
  • Similarity:
    Contains 2 GATA-type zinc fingers [IMAGE]

    Disorder & Mutation    
    Source Disease
    SWISS-PROTAtrial septal defect 2 (ASD2) [MIM:607941]: A congenital heart malformation characterized by incomplete closure of the wall between the atria resulting in blood flow from the left to the right atria. Patients show other heart abnormalities including ventricular and atrioventricular septal defects, pulmonary valve thickening or insufficiency of the cardiac valves. The disease is not associated with defects in the cardiac conduction system or non-cardiac abnormalities. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTVentricular septal defect 1 (VSD1) [MIM:614429]: A common form of congenital cardiovascular anomaly that may occur alone or in combination with other cardiac malformations. It can affect any portion of the ventricular septum, resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect. Large defects that go unrepaired may give rise to cardiac enlargement, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger's syndrome, delayed fetal brain development, arrhythmias, and even sudden cardiac death. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTTetralogy of Fallot (TOF) [MIM:187500]: A congenital heart anomaly which consists of pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, dextroposition of the aorta (aorta is on the right side instead of the left) and hypertrophy of the right ventricle. In this condition, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body often causing cyanosis. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTAtrioventricular septal defect 4 (AVSD4) [MIM:614430]: A congenital heart malformation characterized by a common atrioventricular junction coexisting with deficient atrioventricular septation. The complete form involves underdevelopment of the lower part of the atrial septum and the upper part of the ventricular septum; the valve itself is also shared. A less severe form, known as ostium primum atrial septal defect, is characterized by separate atrioventricular valvar orifices despite a common junction. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
