ELK1 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 the serum response factor and the serum reponse element in the promoter of the c-fos proto-oncogene. ELK1 is a nuclear target for the ras-raf-MAPK signaling cascade.This gene is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors and of the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily.
