title: Multi-protein complexes at the beta-globin locus.
abstract: Biochemical analysis of the beta-globin gene function has led to the identification of several multi-protein complexes at the locus control region (LCR), insulator and promoters. This review briefly summarizes these multi-protein complexes and discusses their contribution towards the regulation of the beta-globin gene expression.
