ELK3 ETS transcription factor ELK3

Gene ID: 2004, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ERP; NET; SAP2; SAP-2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the ETS-domain transcription factor family and the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily. Proteins in this subfamily regulate transcription when recruited by serum response factor to bind to serum response elements. This protein is activated by signal-induced phosphorylation; studies in rodents suggest that it is a transcriptional inhibitor in the absence of Ras, but activates transcription when Ras is present. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
