 Context examples 

This gene is involved in erythropoiesis and signal transduction.

(JAK2 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

This complex is the master regulator of O2 homeostasis and induces a network of genes involved in angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, and glucose metabolism.

(Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
