GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

ELK3

Description

ELK3, ETS-domain protein (SRF accessory protein 2)

Protein class

Candidate cancer biomarkers, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Transcription factors

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is 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.
