Klf10 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to starvation; circadian rhythm; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bone mineralization; positive regulation of osteoclast differentiation; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; jaw; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human KLF10 (KLF transcription factor 10).

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 Klf10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
