NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the Sp/KLF family of transcription factors. Members of this family contain a C-terminal DNA-binding domain with three Kruppel-like zinc fingers. The encoded protein is thought to play an important role in the regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, a process which occurs normally during development but also during metastasis. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 16. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
Uniprot Description
KLF8: Transcriptional repressor and activator. Binds to CACCC- boxes promoter elements. Also binds the GT-box of cyclin D1 promoter and mediates cell cycle progression at G(1) phase as a downstream target of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Belongs to the Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
Protein type: C2H2-type zinc finger protein; Transcription factor; DNA-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xp11.21
Cellular Component: nucleus
Molecular Function: DNA binding; metal ion binding
Biological Process: transcription, DNA-dependent; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent

Product Notes
The KLF8 klf8 (Catalog #AAA3225533) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's KLF8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KLF8 klf8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "KLF8, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
