ELK4 - ETS transcription factor ELK4 Gene
Also Known as SAP1
Species: Homo sapiens
About ELK4
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues, 28 paralogues and is associated with 48 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in prostate (RPKM 12.4), lymph node (RPKM 7.6) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors and of the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily. Proteins of the TCF subfamily form a ternary complex by binding to the the serum response factor and the serum reponse element in the promoter of the c-Fos proto-oncogene. The protein encoded by this gene is phosphorylated by the kinases, MAPK1 and MAPK8. Several transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
