EHF: Proteins and Enzymes

ETS homologous factor (ETS), also known as ETS domain-containing transcription factor, epithelium-specific ETS transcription factor 3, EHF, ESE3, ESE3B, and ESEJ, is a member of the ETS family. This family is characterized by epithelial-specific expression (ESEs). ETS acts as a transcriptional repressor for a specific subset of ETS/AP-1 responsive genes and a modulator of the nuclear response to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades. As such, ETS may play a role in epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis. ETS is also involved in TNFRSF10B/DR5 regulation through the ETS-binding sequences on the TNFRSF10B/DR5 promoter.
