Abstract excerpt
Ets1 is a member of the Ets transcription factor family. Alternative splicing of exon VII results in two naturally occurring protein isoforms: full-length Ets1 (p51-Ets1) and Ets1(DeltaVII) (p42-Ets1). These isoforms bear key distinctions regarding protein-protein interactions, DNA binding kinetics, and transcriptional target specificity. Disruption of both Ets1 isoforms in mice results in the loss of detectable...
