Endothelial differentiation-related factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EDF1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a protein that may regulate endothelial cell differentiation. It has been postulated that the protein functions as a bridging molecule that interconnects regulatory proteins and the basal transcriptional machinery, thereby modulating the transcription of genes involved in endothelial differentiation. This protein has also been found to act as a transcriptional coactivator by interconnecting the general transcription factor TATA element-binding protein (TBP) and gene-specific activators. Two alternatively spliced transcripts which encode distinct proteins have been found for this gene.[3]

Interactions

EDF1 has been shown to interact with Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma,[4] TATA binding protein[4][5][6] and Liver X receptor alpha.[4]
