Functions as a transcriptional regulator. According to PubMed:12761502, it functions as a transcriptional repressor. Functions in the differentiation and the maintenance of the central serotonergic neurons. May play a role in cell growth.
Fev acts as a transcriptional repressor through its dna-binding ets domain and alanine-rich domain. / we show here that fev dramatically represses both basal and ectopically ets-activated transcription driven by the icam-1 promoter, and that the effect is dose dependent.
