ELK4

A gene on chromosome 1q32 that encodes a member of the ETS family of transcription factors and ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily, which form a complex by binding to the serum response factor and serum reponse element in the c-fos proto-oncogene promoter. ELK4 is activated by MAPK1 and MAPK8 signal-induced phosphorylation.
