Krueppel-like factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF5 gene. [5] [6]
This gene encodes a member of the Kruppel-like factor subfamily of zinc finger proteins. Since the protein localizes to the nucleus and binds the epidermal growth factor response element, it is thought to be a transcription factor. [6]
KLF5 has been shown to interact with Protein SET. [7]
KLF5 expression has been linked to higher survival rates for lung cancer patients. [8]
In molecular genetics, the Krüppel-like family of transcription factors (KLFs) are a set of eukaryotic C2H2 zinc finger DNA-binding proteins that regulate gene expression. This family has been expanded to also include the Sp transcription factor and related proteins, forming the Sp/KLF family.
Krueppel-like factor 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF6 gene.
X-box binding protein 1, also known as XBP1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the XBP1 gene. The XBP1 gene is located on chromosome 22 while a closely related pseudogene has been identified and localized to chromosome 5. The XBP1 protein is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes important to the proper functioning of the immune system and in the cellular stress response.
Kruppel-like factor 4 is a member of the KLF family of zinc finger transcription factors, which belongs to the relatively large family of SP1-like transcription factors. KLF4 is involved in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and somatic cell reprogramming. Evidence also suggests that KLF4 is a tumor suppressor in certain cancers, including colorectal cancer. It has three C2H2-zinc fingers at its carboxyl terminus that are closely related to another KLF, KLF2. It has two nuclear localization sequences that signals it to localize to the nucleus. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), KLF4 has been demonstrated to be a good indicator of stem-like capacity. It is suggested that the same is true in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
GA-binding protein alpha chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABPA gene.
YY1 is a transcriptional repressor protein in humans that is encoded by the YY1 gene.
Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEF2A gene. MEF2A is a transcription factor in the Mef2 family. In humans it is located on chromosome 15q26. Certain mutations in MEF2A cause an autosomal dominant form of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.
C-terminal-binding protein 2 also known as CtBP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTBP2 gene.
Homeobox protein Hox-C4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXC4 gene.
Transcription factor SOX-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX5 gene.
Transcription factor SOX-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX6 gene.
Transcription factor SOX-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX8 gene.
Zinc finger protein 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF10 gene.
Krueppel-like factor 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF8 gene. KLF8 belongs to the family of KLF protein. KLF8 is activated by KLF1 along with KLF3 while KLF3 represses KLF8.
Zinc finger protein 161 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB14 gene.
Enolase 3 (ENO3), more commonly known as beta-enolase (ENO-β), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ENO3 gene.
Krüppel-like factor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF3 gene.
Zinc finger protein 239 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF239 gene.
Krueppel-like factor 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF17 gene.
Krüppel-like factor 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF15 gene in the Krüppel-like factor family. Its former designation KKLF stands for kidney-enriched Krüppel-like factor.
