Abstract excerpt
Ets-1 is the prototype of the family of ETS transcription factors. In human tumors, Ets-1 is expressed in endothelial cells and fibroblasts of the tumor stroma and is proposed to play a role in tumor vascularization and invasion by upregulating expression of matrix-degrading proteases. In human carcinomas, Ets-1 is also expressed by neoplastic cells, but little is known about the functional implications of this...
