| Sumario: | Abstract Early growth response‐1 (Egr‐1) is a master regulator and transcriptional sensor in vascular dysfunction and disease. This article reviews recent developments in our understanding of the regulatory roles this zinc finger protein and product of an immediate‐early gene plays in a range of cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders. Egr‐1 can amplify pathologic signals from the extracellular environment by serving as a molecular conduit in the inducible expression of proliferative, migratory and proinflammatory genes driving disease progression. Strategies targeting Egr‐1 may provide therapeutic benefit in cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders. |
