KLF4 - KLF transcription factor 4 Gene
Also Known as EZF; GKLF
Species: Homo sapiens
About KLF4
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 217 orthologues, 22 paralogues and is associated with 75 phenotypes. Broad expression in colon (RPKM 75.2), esophagus (RPKM 73.6) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Kruppel family of transcription factors. The encoded Zinc Finger Protein is required for normal development of the barrier function of skin. The encoded protein is thought to control the G1-to-S transition of the cell cycle following DNA damage by mediating the tumor suppressor gene p53. Mice lacking this gene have a normal appearance but lose weight rapidly, and die shortly after birth due to fluid evaporation resulting from compromised epidermal barrier function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
