Gene locus:
10p15
Protein name:
Kruppel-like factor 6
Protein Size:
283 amino acids; about 32 kDa
Function:
This gene encodes a member of the Kruppel-like factor family of transcriptional regulators involved in development and differentiation as well as in growth signaling pathways, apoptosis, proliferation and angiogenesis. KLF6 functions as a tumor suppressor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, some of which are implicated in carcinogenesis.
Cancer-related alterations:
Somatic KLF6 mutations have been reported in astrocytoma, glioblastoma and meningioma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer. Most mutation events are substitutions.
