ZFPM1 (Zinc Finger Protein, FOG Family Member 1): ZFPM1 is a cofactor that interacts with GATA family transcription factors, playing a key role in the development and differentiation of various cell types, particularly those in the heart and blood. It is essential for the differentiation of erythroid and megakaryocyte lineages. Mutations or dysregulation of ZFPM1 can affect haematopoiesis, potentially leading to blood disorders. Additionally, its role in cardiac development connects it to congenital heart defects. Research on ZFPM1 aims to enhance understanding of its function within gene regulation networks that govern cell fate decisions, with potential implications for treatments targeting these conditions.
