与肺癌相关的ETS2基因编码功能描述

该基因编码一种调节参与发育和凋亡的基因的转录因子。编码蛋白也是一种原癌基因，并被证明与端粒酶的调节有关。该基因的一个假基因位于X染色体上。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体。
This gene encodes a transcription factor which regulates genes involved in development and apoptosis. The encoded protein is also a protooncogene and shown to be involved in regulation of telomerase. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
