KLF-3

WormBase ID: WBGene00003480

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human KLF2 (Kruppel like factor 2). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Is involved in fatty acid homeostasis. Is expressed in germ line and vulva. Is used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including chromosome 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 7; and prostate cancer.
