Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; negative regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation; and podocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of D-glucose import; and response to insulin. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranium; early conceptus; metanephros; and nose. Used to study aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human KLF15 (KLF transcription factor 15). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
