EGR3
geneOn this page
Also known as PILOT
Summary
EGR3 (early growth response 3, HGNC:3240) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p21.3, encoding Early growth response protein 3 (Q06889). Probable transcription factor involved in muscle spindle development.
This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator that belongs to the EGR family of C2H2-type zinc-finger proteins. It is an immediate-early growth response gene which is induced by mitogenic stimulation. The protein encoded by this gene participates in the transcriptional regulation of genes in controling biological rhythm. It may also play a role in a wide variety of processes including muscle development, lymphocyte development, endothelial cell growth and migration, and neuronal development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
