Generic protein structure example

Krueppel-like factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF5 gene.[1][2]

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.[2]

Interactions

KLF5 has been shown to interact with Protein SET.[3]
