Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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).
