title: Regulation of angiogenesis by ETS transcription factors.
abstract: Transcription factors of the ETS family are important regulators of endothelial gene expression. Here, we review the evidence that ETS factors regulate angiogenesis and briefly discuss the target genes and pathways involved. Finally, we discuss novel evidence that shows how these transcription factors act in a combinatorial fashion with others, through composite sites that may be crucial in determining endothelial specificity in gene transcription.
