Also known as ESE3ESEJ
Summary
EHF (ETS homologous factor, HGNC:3246) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p13, encoding ETS homologous factor (Q9NZC4). Transcriptional activator that may play a role in regulating epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation.
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to an ETS transcription factor subfamily characterized by epithelial-specific expression (ESEs). The encoded protein acts as a transcriptional repressor and may be involved in epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Transcriptional activator that may play a role in regulating epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation. May act as a repressor for a specific subset of ETS/AP-1-responsive genes and as a modulator of the nuclear response to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades. Binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus nucleotide core sequence GGAA. Involved in regulation of TNFRSF10B/DR5 expression through Ets-binding sequences on the TNFRSF10B/DR5 promoter. May contribute to development and carcinogenesis by acting as a tumor suppressor gene or anti-oncogene.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed exclusively in tissues with a high content of epithelial cells. Highly expressed in salivary gland, mammary gland, prostate, and lung. Weakly expressed in kidney and colon. Not detected in heart, brain, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, spleen, thymus, testis, ovary, small intestine or peripheral blood leukocytes.
Domain organisation. The PNT domain acts as a transcriptional activator.
Induction. By IL1B/interleukin-1 beta and TNF in bronchial smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. By IL10/interleukin-10 and IFNG/IFN-gamma in monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
Similarity. Belongs to the ETS family.
