Function
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]
Interactions
KLF5 has been shown to interact with Protein SET.[7]
Clinical significance
KLF5 expression has been linked to higher survival rates for lung cancer patients.[8]
