Gene: KLF13

Alternate names for this Gene: BTEB3|FKLF2|NSLP1|RFLAT-1|RFLAT1

Gene Summary: KLF13 belongs to a family of transcription factors that contain 3 classical zinc finger DNA-binding domains consisting of a zinc atom tetrahedrally coordinated by 2 cysteines and 2 histidines (C2H2 motif). These transcription factors bind to GC-rich sequences and related GT and CACCC boxes (Scohy et al., 2000 [PubMed 11087666]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q13.3
