| Summary | This gene encodes a member of the Sp subfamily of Sp/XKLF transcription factors. Sp family proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins characterized by an amino-terminal trans-activation domain and three carboxy-terminal zinc finger motifs. This protein contains the least conserved DNA-binding domain within the Sp subfamily of proteins, and its DNA sequence specificity differs from the other Sp proteins. The protein can act as a transcriptional activator or repressor, depending on the promoter and cell type. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
