EHF (gene)

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ETS homologous factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EHF gene.[5][6] This gene encodes a protein that belongs to an ETS transcription factor subfamily characterized by epithelial-specific expression (ESEs). The encoded protein acts as a transcriptional repressor and may be associated with asthma susceptibility. This protein may be involved in epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis.[6]
