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