'''ETS1''' is a [[gene]] that encodes the ETS proto-oncogene 1, a [[transcription factor]]. This gene is part of the ETS family of transcription factors, which are characterized by the presence of a conserved ETS DNA-binding domain that recognizes the core consensus DNA sequence GGAA/T in target genes.

ETS1 is a gene that encodes a member of the ETS family of transcription factors. This family of transcription factors is characterized by the presence of a conserved ETS domain, which is responsible for binding to specific DNA sequences.

Function[edit]

The ETS1 protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression during various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. It is involved in the development of lymphoid and vascular systems and is essential for embryonic development.

Clinical Significance[edit]

Mutations or dysregulation of the ETS1 gene have been associated with various cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and breast cancer. Overexpression of ETS1 has been observed in tumor cells, where it may contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.

Interactions[edit]

ETS1 interacts with several other proteins and transcription factors to modulate gene expression. It can form complexes with cofactors such as CBP/p300 and AP-1, enhancing its transcriptional activity. These interactions are crucial for its role in cell signaling pathways.

Research[edit]

Ongoing research is focused on understanding the precise mechanisms by which ETS1 regulates gene expression and contributes to disease. Targeting ETS1 and its pathways is being explored as a potential therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment.
