Transcription factor GATA-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GATA5 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains two GATA-type zinc fingers. The encoded protein is known to bind to hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha) and this interaction is essential for cooperative activation of the intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase promoter.
