Klf2
Domain
The 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors.
Function
Transcription factor that binds to the CACCC box in the promoter of target genes such as HBB/beta globin or NOV and activates their transcription. Might be involved in transcriptional regulation by modulating the binding of the RARA nuclear receptor to RARE DNA elements (By similarity).
Post-translational modifications
Ubiquitinated. Polyubiquitination involves WWP1 and leads to proteasomal degradation of this protein.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
Tissue Specificity
Predominant expression in the lungs and spleen.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
Alternative names
Lklf, Klf2, Krueppel-like factor 2, Lung krueppel-like factor
