General description

ETS family members play an important role in mammalian development and have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression during a variety of biologic processes including cell growth and differentiation. Defects or deficiencies, as well as overexpression of ETS family members can have major developmental effects as well as aid in tumor development. ETS translocation variant 5 protein (ETV5) also known as ETS-related protein ERM is a nuclear localized protein that binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus nucleotide core sequence of GGAA and is a member of the very large ETS transcription factor family. Early experiments in worms suggested that ETV5 might play a role in the development of the dopaminergic nervous system; however that has not proved to be the case in mammals. However, more recent research has indicated ETV5 playing an important role in the development of reproduction and in the development of ovarian cancer. ETV5 controls the expression of critical prostaglandins needed for ovarian development and ETV5 deficient mice show complex infertility phenotypes both in males and females. In males, the infertility phenotype exhibited by ETV5 deficiency is sexually dimorphic, and it involves both somatic cells and germ cells. In Etv5-/- female mice, the problem is more complicated by hormonal involvement and results in more a complex phenotype. EMD-Millipore's Anti-ETV5 mouse monoclonal antibody has been tested in western blot against Jurkat, NIH3T3 and MCF-7 cell lysates.
