Summary
This gene 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 response 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. This gene produces multiple isoforms by using alternative translational start codons and by alternative splicing. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 7 and 14.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1, also known as 5'UTR long or 5'UTRL) represents the longest transcript and encodes the longer isoform (a). Both variants 1 and 2 encode isoform a. Delayed translational reinitiation from an alternative downstream start codon, AUG sElk-1, can also result in a shorter isoform (sELK-1), as described in PMID:22354998.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses two alternate splice sites and lacks an alternate exon which results in a frameshift in the central and 3' coding regions, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (b) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform a.
