Krueppel-like factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF5 gene.^[5][6]

Function[edit]

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.^[6]

Interactions[edit]

KLF5 has been shown to interact with Protein SET.^[7]

Clinical significance[edit]

KLF5 expression has been linked to higher survival rates for lung cancer patients.^[8]
