ETV2 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of endothelial cell differentiation; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human ETV2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
