Function

Ets1 (E26 Transformation-Specific) is a proto-oncogene translation factor. Ets1 contributes to the regulation of cellular differentiation. Ets1 contains an ETS domain which is a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain which recognizes the sequence GGAA/T. The ETS domain is flanked by autoinhibitory domains. At the N-terminal, Ets1 contains a pointed domain (PNT) and a MAP kinase phosphorylation domain. PNT domain is related to SAM domains and contains 4 α-helices.

Disease

Relevance

Ets1 promotes invasive behavior in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and epithelial cancer cells.
