背景
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors, which is
a large group of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulators that play an important
role in a variety of cellular processes throughout development and differentiation, and are
involved in oncogenesis as well. This protein is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic
tissues. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have
been described for this gene (PMID:11108721).
