Transcription factor COE1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EBF1gene.
EBF1 stands for Early B-Cell Factor 1.[5][6][7]
EBF1 controls the expression of key proteins required for B cell differentiation, signal transduction and function.[8][9] The crucial role of this factor is shown in the regulation of expression of SLAM family co-receptors in B-cells.[10] In addition, EBF1 is also noted for its role in chondrogenic differentiation in limb bud mesenchymalprogenitor cells.[11]
