Enriched in OLL; PVD; and head mesodermal cell based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including
etr-1;
dop-1; and
unc-30 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease; Lewy body dementia; and schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human ELK1 (ETS transcription factor ELK1). Human ELK1 enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and nuclear receptor coactivator activity.
