In today's world, ELK4 has gained unprecedented relevance. With the advancement of technology and globalization, ELK4 has become a topic of interest and discussion everywhere. From its origins to its influence today, ELK4 has played a fundamental role in people's lives and in the development of society. Over the years, numerous studies and research have been carried out in order to better understand the impact of ELK4 and its implications in different areas. Therefore, it is essential to carefully analyze ELK4 and its various dimensions, in order to have a more complete and precise vision on this topic.
ETS domain-containing protein Elk-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELK4gene.[5][6][7]
Function
This gene is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors and of the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily. Proteins of the TCF subfamily form a ternary complex by binding to the serum response factor and the serum response element in the promoter of the c-fos proto-oncogene. The protein encoded by this gene is phosphorylated by the kinases, MAPK1 and MAPK8. Several transcript variants have been described for this gene.[7]
