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]
