Anti-ets domain transcription factor, epithelial-specific antibody produced in rabbit

The Uses of Anti-ets domain transcription factor, epithelial-specific antibody produced in rabbit

Anti-ELF3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit .

General Description

ELF3 (E74-like factor 3) gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q32.2. It is expressed in normal epithelia during keratinocyte differentiation. It is also found to be expressed in cell lines of epithelial origin and in organs with specialized epithelial cells such as lung, stomach, intestine and kidney.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ELF3 (E74-like factor 3) gene encodes a protein belonging to the ETS (E26 transformation-specific) family of transcription factors. The protein may be involved in oral carcinogenesis and may serve as a potential biomarker of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma. ELF3 expression is found to be elevated in lung carcinoma and adenocarcinoma suggesting that the gene may be involved in lung tumorigenesis.
