Mek5, Mkk5, Prkmk5, ELK1, ETS-domain protein Elk-1
Product description
Elk-1 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 a nuclear target for the ras-raf-MAPK signaling cascade. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene1) Xing J, et al. (1996) Science. 273 (5277): 959-963. Janknecht R, et al.
