Klf9 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryo implantation; progesterone receptor signaling pathway; and retinoic acid catabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human KLF9 (KLF transcription factor 9).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Klf9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
