Summary
ELK3 (ETS transcription factor ELK3, HGNC:3325) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q23.1, encoding ETS domain-containing protein Elk-3 (P41970). May be a negative regulator of transcription, but can activate transcription when coexpressed with Ras, Src or Mos.
This gene encodes a member of the ETS-domain transcription factor family and the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily. Proteins in this subfamily regulate transcription when recruited by serum response factor to bind to serum response elements. This protein is activated by signal-induced phosphorylation; studies in rodents suggest that it is a transcriptional inhibitor in the absence of Ras, but activates transcription when Ras is present. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
