E74-like factor 5 (ets domain transcription factor), is a gene found in both mice and humans.[3] In humans it is also called ESE2.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of an epithelium-specific subclass of the ETS transcription factor family. In addition to its role in regulating the later stages of terminal differentiation of keratinocytes, it appears to regulate a number of epithelium-specific genes found in tissues containing glandular epithelium such as salivary gland and prostate. It has very low affinity to DNA due to its negative regulatory domain at the amino terminus. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[3]

Relevance to Disease

A role in breast or prostate cancer is known.

SARS-CoV2 infection.[7]
