The CNC-basic leucine zipper (CNC-bZIP) family is a subfamily of bZIP proteins identified
from independent searches for factors that bind the AP-1-like cis-elements in the β-globin
locus control region. Three members, p45-Nf-e2, Nrf-1 and Nrf-2 have been identified in
mammals. Expression of p45-Nf-e2 is largely restricted to hematopoietic cells while Nrf-1
and Nrf-2 are expressed in a wide range of tissues. To determine the function of Nrf-1,

Expression of p45-Nf-e2 is largely restricted to hematopoietic cells while Nrf-1 and Nrf-2 are expressed in a wide range of tissues. To determine the function of Nrf-1, targeted disruption of the Nrf-1 gene was carried out. Homozygous Nrf-1 mutant mice are anemic due to a non-cell autonomous defect in definitive erythropoiesis and die in utero.
