Anti-Klf2 Antibody

Krueppel-like factor 2 (Klf2) is a novel protein belonging to the KLF family of transcription factors, a subfamily of approximately 20 members characterized by their possession of a zinc-finger domain and functioning as transcriptional regulators for cellular differentiation and growth. Klf2 activates transcription through its binding of the beta-globin gene promoter CACCC box. Studies have shown Klf2 to have critical roles in both the function and differentiation of several cell types including; adipocytes, lung cells, T lymphocytes, and monocytes. It has also been newly identified as an endothelial transcription regulator for pro-inflammatory activation, and is a requirement for the migration of smooth muscle cells and normal vessel formation. Shear stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines are considered to be potent inhibitors of Klf2. Expression is primarily observed in lung and spleen tissue, but it has also been found in aortic tissue.
