Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; larval lymph gland hemocyte differentiation; and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including glial cell; gut section; imaginal disc; organism subdivision; and somatic precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ETS1 (ETS proto-oncogene 1, transcription factor) and ETS2 (ETS proto-oncogene 2, transcription factor).

a new layer of regulation whereby Yan and Pointed co-occupy regulatory elements to repress gene expression in a coordinated manner, with Pointed being unexpectedly required for the genome-wide occupancy of both Yan and the co-repressor Groucho.
Title: Collaborative repressive action of the antagonistic ETS transcription factors Pointed and Yan fine-tunes gene expression to confer robustness in Drosophila.
results demonstrate that PntP1 prevents both the premature differentiation and the dedifferentiation of INPs by regulating the expression of distinct target genes at different stages of imINP development.
Title: The Ets protein Pointed prevents both premature differentiation and dedifferentiation of Drosophila intermediate neural progenitors.
Both PntP1 and PntP2 are required for oenocyte specification. Since PntP1 is a downstream effector of EGF signaling, these findings provide insight into how a Hox factor can both trigger and potentiate the EGF signal to promote an essential cell fate along the body plan.
Title: A Hox complex activates and potentiates the Epidermal Growth Factor signaling pathway to specify Drosophila oenocytes.
PntP2 transcription factor plays a role in air sac development by regulation of the EGF ligand Vein protein.
