The function of ENSG00000130700 (GATA5, GATA binding protein 5) is as follows. Transcription factor required during cardiovascular development (PubMed:23289003). Plays an important role in the transcriptional program(s) that underlies smooth muscle cell diversity (By similarity). Binds to the functionally important CEF-1 nuclear protein binding site in the cardiac-specific slow/cardiac troponin C transcriptional enhancer (PubMed:25543888). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97489, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23289003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25543888}.
