ELF4 - E74 like ETS transcription factor 4 Gene
Also Known as MEF; ELFR; AIFBL2
Species: Homo sapiens
About ELF4
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 94 orthologues, 28 paralogues and is associated with 63 phenotypes. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 18.8), placenta (RPKM 12.9) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator that binds and activates the promoters of the CSF2, IL3, IL8, and PRF1 genes. The encoded protein is involved in natural killer cell development and function, innate immunity, and induction of cell cycle arrest in naive CD8+ cells. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
