 Context examples: 

This allele, which encodes interleukin-6 receptor alpha chain protein, plays a role in the mediation of both the immune response and hematopoiesis.

(IL6R wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene plays a role in hematopoiesis and may function as a growth factor receptor.

(FLT3 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

Hematopoiesis Induction involves initiation of a process of blood formation; more specifically formation of blood cells that are all derived from hematopoietic stem cells.

(Hematopoiesis Induction, NCI Thesaurus)

MIP-1 beta chemokine is chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes, stimulates macrophages, and may play a role in regulating hematopoiesis.

(Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 4, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene is involved in hematopoiesis and the maintenance of cellular transformation.

(FES Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

This allele, which encodes hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen CD34 immunoprotein, is involved in hematopoiesis and may mediate bone marrow extracellular matrix or stroma scaffold interactions.

(CD34 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene is involved in hematopoiesis; however, a specific physiological function has yet to be identified.

(CD34 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

This protein may be involved in synapse function or hematopoiesis.

(Brain and Acute Leukemia Cytoplasmic Protein, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene is involved in hematopoiesis and osteogenesis.

(CBFB Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

CBF is an alpha/beta heterodimeric transcription factor involved in the transcriptional regulation of several genes important in hematopoiesis.
