    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in aggresome; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner cell mass; and liver. Orthologous to human KLF8 (Kruppel like factor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Klf8 is highly expressed in various regions of the mouse brain and in particular in the neurons, where it was localized in the cell nuclei.
      Title: Krüppel-like transcription factor 8 (Klf8) is expressed and active in the neurons of the mouse brain.
    2. KLF3 and KLF8 have overlapping roles in vivo and participate in the silencing of embryonic globin expression during development.
      Title: Generation of mice deficient in both KLF3/BKLF and KLF8 reveals a genetic interaction and a role for these factors in embryonic globin gene silencing.
    3. KLF8 is a key component of the transcription factor network that controls terminal differentiation during adipogenesis.
      Title: Krüppel-like factor KLF8 plays a critical role in adipocyte differentiation.
    4. PARP-1 as a novel KLF8-binding and -regulating protein and provided new insights into the mechanisms underlying the regulation of KLF8 nuclear localization, stability, and functions.
      Title: Identification of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) as a novel Kruppel-like factor 8-interacting and -regulating protein.
    5. These results identified the KLF8 activation domain located between residues 101-260 where the well-conserved Q118 and Q248 are essential for recruiting p300 and PCAF to activate target gene transcription.
      Title: KLF8 recruits the p300 and PCAF co-activators to its amino terminal activation domain to activate transcription.
    6. KLF8 has two N terminal regulatory regions, one surrounding S165 and K171 and the other being two tandem ZFs, which are critical for the regulation of KLF8 nuclear localization and its cellular functions
      Title: A unique sequence in the N-terminal regulatory region controls the nuclear localization of KLF8 by cooperating with the C-terminal zinc-fingers.
    7. Klf8 is repressed by Klf3 and activated by Klf1 in vivo.
      Title: A network of Krüppel-like Factors (Klfs). Klf8 is repressed by Klf3 and activated by Klf1 in vivo.
    8. sumoylation of KLF8 negatively regulates its transcriptional activity and cellular functions
      Title: Sumoylation delimits KLF8 transcriptional activity associated with the cell cycle regulation.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
