Elk-1 is a 62-kDa member of the Ets oncogene family of transcription factors and a member of the subfamily of ternary complex factors (TCF). Ets proteins mediate a variety of gene activities in response to serum and growth factors. Proteins in the TCF subfamily form a ternary complex by binding to the Serum Response Element (SRE) in conjunction with a dimer of Serum Response Factors (SRF). Elk-1 is phosphorylated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways in vivo at a cluster of S/T motifs at its carboxy-terminus. Phosphorylation at these sites, particularly at serine 383 (S383), is critical for Elk-1 transcriptional activation. Studies have shown that Elk-1 is a direct target of activated MAP kinase, and that it is also a target of the stress-activated kinase SAPK/JNK. The M21-1721 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated S383 of activated Elk-1. The orthologous phosphorylation sites of mouse and rat Elk-1 are S384 and S382, respectively. Synonyms: ELK1
