OnCo

ETV4 (ETS translocation variant 4) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, an oncogene driver and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Prostate cancer, Lung cancer, Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and 1 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Transcriptional activator. Regulates the positioning of motor neurons within the lateral medial column of the spinal cord and controls the terminal arborisation of specific motor neuron axons within their target muscles. Required for the expression of CDH8 and SEMA3E in ETV4-expressing motor neurons and for the exclusion of CDH7 expression from these neurons. May play a role in keratinocyte differentiation. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 17q21.31 (HGNC).
