HEMGN
Sign in to saveAlso known as CT155, EDAG, EDAG-1, NDR, hemogen
Hemogen is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HEMGN gene. It plays a crucial role in erythropoiesis, the process of red blood cell formation, by acting as a nuclear transcriptional regulator. Hemogen modulates gene expression involved in the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid progenitor cells, thereby contributing to the maintenance of normal red blood cell counts and responding to erythropoietic stress.
