Early Growth Response‐1, an Integrative Sensor in Cardiovascular and Inflammatory Disease

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 car...
