About KLF12

Cytogenetic location: 13q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 13:73,686,089-74,306,045 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 226 orthologues and 22 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 6.4), spleen (RPKM 4.4) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

Activator protein-2 alpha (AP-2 alpha) is a developmentally-regulated transcription factor and important regulator of gene expression during vertebrate development and carcinogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Kruppel-like zinc finger protein family and can repress expression of the AP-2 alpha gene by binding to a specific site in the AP-2 alpha gene promoter. Repression by the encoded protein requires binding with a corepressor, CtBP1. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
