The function of ETV1 (ETS variant transcription factor 1, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000006468) is as follows. Transcriptional activator that binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus pentanucleotide 5'-CGGA[AT]-3' (PubMed:7651741). Required for olfactory dopaminergic neuron differentiation; may directly activate expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P41164, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7651741}.
