About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0408
Species: human
Position : chrX:55006337-55008337
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: X-linked sideroblastic anemia
Pubmed ID:  29908199
Enhancer experiment: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,Western blot,Electron microscopy,Flow cytometry,Staining,
Enhancer experiment description: These results suggest that the induction of mitochondrial ferritin expression might be essential for, but not the primary cause of, ring sideroblast formation. Our results also suggest that the insufficient supply of protoporphyrin IX due to ALAS2 deficiency in combination with increased iron import into mitochondria during erythroid differentiation results in the formation of ring sideroblasts. Furthermore, HA2low cells are a useful tool for characterizing ring sideroblasts in vitro.

About Target gene

Target gene : ALAS2(ALAS-E,ALASE,ANH1,ASB,SIDBA1,XLDPP,XLEPP,XLSA)
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
