Disease relevance of Egr4

  • These data raise the possibility that Egr4 may contribute to some forms of human idiopathic male infertility [1].
  • Infertility associated with incomplete spermatogenic arrest and oligozoospermia in Egr4-deficient mice [1].
  • The nerve growth factor-induced clone C (NGFI-C) gene encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is rapidly induced by nerve growth factor in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and by seizure in brain [2].
 

High impact information on Egr4

 

Biological context of Egr4

 

Anatomical context of Egr4

  • The pAT133-promoter functions as an inducible promoter in human T cells and in fibroblasts, as constructs containing the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene driven by a 943 bp pAT133-promoter fragment were induced in these cells by stimulation with PHA/PMA or by serum, respectively [6].
 

Associations of Egr4 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of Egr4

  • The genes are closely linked, with 0/215 recombinants between Anx4 and Tgfa and 1/215 recombinants between these genes and Egr4 [5].
