Elf3 is a transcriptional activator that binds and transactivates ETS sequences containing the consensus nucleotide core sequence GGA[AT]. Elf3 acts synergistically with POU2F3 to transactivate the SPRR2A promoter and with RUNX1 to transactivate the ANGPT1 promoter.Elf3 also transactivates collagenase, CCL20, CLND7, FLG, KRT8, NOS2, PTGS2, SPRR2B, TGFBR2 and TGM3 promoters. Elf3 represses KRT4 promoter activity.Elf3 is involved in mediating vascular inflammation. Elf3 may play an important role in epithelial cell differentiation and tumorigenesis. Elf3 may be a critical downstream effector of the ERBB2 signaling pathway. Elf3 may be associated with mammary gland development and involution. Elf3 plays an important role in the regulation of transcription with TATA-less promoters in preimplantation embryos, which is essential in preimplantation development. |
