Activity summary

ETS1 also known as E26 Transformation-Specific 1 is a transcription factor protein weighing approximately 51-53 kDa. It belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors and can be referred to by other names such as ETS-1 ETS 1 or Ets-1. This protein shows expression in numerous tissues including the thymus spleen and brain. Importantly ETS1 binds to specific DNA sequences to regulate the transcription of various target genes.

Biological function summary

The function of this protein involves the regulation of gene expression linked to cell development differentiation and apoptosis. ETS1 does not form stable complexes with other proteins in its resting form but it can interact dynamically with co-factors during activation. Its activity plays a role in immune response modulation and vascular development by controlling downstream target genes connected to these processes.

Pathways

The involvement of this protein spans key signal transduction pathways including the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. In these pathways ETS1 regulates gene expression influenced by external stimuli such as growth factors. It interacts with other pathway-related proteins like ERK1/2 and AKT initiating cellular responses that contribute to cell proliferation and survival mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormalities in the function or expression of this protein have been linked to certain cancers such as leukemia and breast cancer. The protein interacts with other oncogenic proteins including BRISA and Palikuqi leading to progression of these malignancies. Additionally involvement in autoimmune disorders like lupus has been observed where deregulation of ETS1 can affect immune cell behavior and promote hyperactivation of immune responses.
