Background E twenty-six (ETS)-like transcription factor 1, also known as Elk1 or Member of ETS oncogene family (ELK1), is a member of the ETS oncogene superfamily which is characterized by a common protein domain that regulates DNA binding to target sequences. Elk1 is expressed in the nuclei of non-neuronal cells and function as a transcription activator. It plays important roles in various contexts, including long-term memory formation, drug addiction, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, breast cancer, and depression.
