Background: KLF8(Krueppel-like factor 8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLF8 gene. It is also named as ZNF741, or BKLF3. Kruppel-like factor proteins, including KLF8, all contain a characteristic C-terminal DNA-binding domain containing 3 Kruppel-like zinc fingers, and they all recognize CACCC and GC boxes present in promoters and enhancers. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the KLF8 gene to the X chromosome(WI-18614). Suske et al.(2005) stated that the human KLF8 gene maps to chromosome Xp11.21, and the mouse Klf8 gene to chromosome XF3. van Vliet et al.(2000) identified a cDNA encoding KLF8, also called ZNF741. Expression of KLF8 or only its zinc fingers showed that the fingers could bind to a CACCC box. Sequence analysis predicted that the 359-amino acid protein contains a nuclear localization signal upstream of the zinc fingers, a valine-rich hydrophobic stretch, and a pro-val-asp-leu-ser(PVDLS) motif. Yeast 2-hybrid and GST pull-down analysis demonstrated that CTBP2 interacts with KLF8 through the PVDLS motif.
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]

Product Notes
The KLF8 klf8 (Catalog #AAA176359) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-KLF8 antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's KLF8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, 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, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
