该基因编码一种参与红细胞珠蛋白基因表达的蛋白质。书目数据库中出现了混淆，因为该基因的NRF1共享符号NFE2L1和具有NRF1官方符号的“核呼吸因子1”。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
This gene encodes a protein that is involved in globin gene expression in erythrocytes. Confusion has occurred in bibliographic databases due to the shared symbol of NRF1 for this gene, NFE2L1, and for "nuclear respiratory factor 1" which has an official symbol of NRF1.
