Structural highlights
Disease
[FEV_HUMAN] Disease susceptibility may be associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. A chromosomal aberration involving FEV is found in Ewing tumors. Translocation t(2;21;22)(q23;q22;q12) that forms a EWSR1-FEV fusion protein with a potential oncogenic activity.
Function
[FEV_HUMAN] Functions as a transcriptional regulator. According to PubMed:12761502, it functions as a transcriptional repressor. Functions in the differentiation and the maintenance of the central serotonergic neurons. May play a role in cell growth.[1]
