Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 12224 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; MRF binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and skeletal muscle tissue regeneration. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KLF5 (KLF transcription factor 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die during gestation, while heterozygotes exhibit abnormal cardiovascular remodeling after external stress. Mice homozygous for a floxed allele activated in the prostate exhibit increased cell proliferation and hyperplasia in the prostate without neoplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
