Elk1 - ETS transcription factor ELK1 Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 314436

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 response element in the promoter of the c-Fos proto-oncogene. The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear target for the ras-raf-MAPK signaling cascade. Multiple isoforms are produced from this gene by the use of alternative translational start codons.
