Activity summary

ERG or ETS-related gene is a transcription factor that belongs to the ETS (E-26 transformation specific) family. The ERG protein plays an important role in gene regulation involved in cell growth and differentiation. ERG has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It is expressed in a variety of tissues including the prostate endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells. Researchers often study ERG protein localization through techniques such as ERG IHC to better understand its expression across different tissues for example in the ERG color sections that highlight specific cellular contexts.

Biological function summary

ERG regulates processes critical for normal cellular functions such as proliferation apoptosis and differentiation. It functions as part of a larger transcriptional regulatory complex and interacts with other proteins to exert its effects on target genes. The ERG protein can affect angiogenesis and limb development through its regulation of vascular endothelial cells. By controlling such important cellular processes ERG influences both normal physiological functions and abnormal conditions when dysregulated.

Pathways

ERG is highly significant in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway which is involved in cell division and survival. ERG interacts with other signaling proteins such as FLI1 and RUNX1 affecting cellular responses and contributing to the regulation of gene expression essential for development and homeostasis. Within the hematopoietic context ERG participates in the regulation of pathways that maintain stem cell populations making it important for normal blood cell development.

Associated diseases and disorders

ERG is prominently implicated in prostate cancer where gene fusions involving ERG lead to its overexpression and contribute to malignancy. The abnormal expression of ERG in endothelial cells can also have a role in vascular disorders. ERG's interplay with proteins like TMPRSS2 often seen in gene fusions in prostate cancer underlines its role in oncogenesis. Understanding how ERG regulates these pathways and its interactions with other proteins helps in developing targeted therapies for disorders involving ERG dysregulation.
