ELK4, ETS-domain protein (SRF accessory protein 1)
Gene Summary
The ELK4 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 ELK4 is phosphorylated by the kinases, MAPK1 and MAPK8.
