ELF5 - E74 like ETS transcription factor 5

This gene encodes an epithelium-specific ETS family transcription factor. In addition to its role in regulating the later stages of terminal differentiation of keratinocytes, it appears to regulate a number of epithelium-specific genes found in tissues containing glandular epithelium such as salivary gland and prostate. It has very low affinity to DNA due to its negative regulatory domain at the amino terminus. This gene has been implicated as a tumor suppressive transcription factor in breast cancer.
