Moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was observed in a majority of cancers. A few cases of testicular and urothelial cancers were strongly positive.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KLF5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
BTEB2, CKLF, IKLF
Description
Kruppel-like factor 5 (intestinal) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the Kruppel-like factor subfamily of zinc finger proteins. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator that binds directly to a specific recognition motif in the promoters of target genes. This protein acts downstream of multiple different signaling pathways and is regulated by post-translational modification. It may participate in both promoting and suppressing cell proliferation. Expression of this gene may be changed in a variety of different cancers and in cardiovascular disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]
