Application

Anti-EHF polyclonal antibody is used to tag ETS homologous factor proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of ETS homologous factor as a potential prognostic marker for carcinomas such as ovarian carcinoma cancer and to study gene regulation during carcinogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ehf is a transcriptional activator that may play a role in regulating epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation. It may act as a repressor for a specific subset of ETS/AP-1-responsive genes, and as a modulator of the nuclear response to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades. It binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus nucleotide core sequence GGAA and involved in regulation of TNFRSF10B/DR5 expression through Ets-binding sequences on the TNFRSF10B/DR5 promoter

General description

ETS transcription factors share a conserved DNA-binding "ETS" domain and include several oncoproteins that induce tumorigenesis when overexpressed. ETS homologous factor (EHF) has been found in kidney, lung and somatotroph tumors. ETS, potentially a tumor suppressor and senescence modulator, is most highly expressed in the organs known to form carcinomas upon 11p12 deletion. ETS may be a prognostic marker of carcinomas such as ovarian carcinoma.
