[Globin gene expression is regulated through NFE2 elements upstream of alpha- and beta-gene clusters. NFE2 DNA-binding involves a heterodimer containing a ubiquitous small MAF protein (MAFF, MAFG, or MAFK) and tissue-specific p45 NFE2. Both subunits are members of the AP-1-like superfamily of bZIP proteins. MAFG also forms heterodimers with NRF1 and NFE2-related factor 2, which stimulate transcription from NFE2 sites.
