Summary
This region represents the promoter and associated upstream enhancers of the albumin (ALB) gene, which is relevant for COVID-19 prognosis. Activity of this region is stimulated by binding by HNF1 homeobox A and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein, and is negatively regulated by tumor protein p53. An enhancer in this region may also regulate activity of the alpha fetoprotein promoter located approximately 30 kb downstream. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2021]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
