Early growth response factor 1: a pleiotropic mediator of inducible gene expression

J Mol Med (Berl). 1998 Aug;76(9):613-6. doi: 10.1007/s001090050258.

Abstract

The zinc-finger transcription factor, early growth response factor-1 (Egr-1) is an immediate-early gene product inducibly expressed in response to diverse stimuli. This review examines the emerging role of Egr-1 in vascular pathobiology.
