SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus
text	stress increases KLF11 expression and induces its nuclear translocation and contributes to increase in MAOA expression

basic FUNCTION	regulation of cell growth and transcriptional repressor
	pancreas-enriched transcription factor acting as negative regulator of exocrine cell growth and glucose-inducible regulator of the insulin gene
	playing a role in the regulation of pancreatic beta cell physiology, and its variants may contribute to the development of diabetes
	not absolutely required for hematopoiesis, growth, and development
	playing a central role in TGFbeta-induced c-myc repression and antiproliferation
	mediates a novel mechanism in transforming growth factor beta-induced growth inhibition that is inactivated in pancreatic cancer
	involved in activation of the proinsulin promoter
	TGF-beta-inducible zinc finger protein, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell growth
	serves as a downstream mediator of TGF-beta, bridging TGF-beta-dependent signaling to the intracellular pathway of apoptosis
	regulates PDX1 transcription in beta cells through two evolutionarily conserved GC-rich motifs
	role of KLF11 as a key mediator of prostaglandin biosynthesis
	KLF11 and KLF15 enhanced UCP1 expression level during brown adipocyte differentiation through their direct interaction with specific binding domains of the UCP1 promoter
	participates in the dexamethasone-induced transcriptional activation of MAOA
	functional role for KLF11 in mesenchymal cells and in mesenchymal cell dysfunction
	participates in diabetes and regulates hepatic lipid metabolism
	having an anti-hypertrophic and anti-fibrotic role for the heart

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

glucocorticoid-KLF11-MAOA pathway may play a crucial role in modulating distinct pathophysiological steps in stress-related disorders

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	activation of epsilon and gamma globin and weakly beta globin genes
	interacting with INS (KLF11 overexpression-mediated inhibition of proinsulin gene expression and characterise a prominent role for the CACCC box in maintaining basal proinsulin promoter activity)
	association with EP300, a coactivator shared among most MODY proteins, supports a critical role for this histone acetyltransferase protein in pancreatic beta cell development and function
	interacting with PLA2G4A (binding to distinct sites the PLA2G4A promoter and recruiting chromatin silencer complexes)
	bound to a GC-box of the UCP1 promoter and the binding was essential for UCP1 expression during brown adipocyte differentiation
	recruits CBX5 and its histone methyltransferase, SUV39H1, to promoters to limit KLF11-mediated gene activation
	KLF11 regulates the expression of CXCR4 at a specific KLF11 binding site
	is an MAOA regulator and is produced in response to neuronal stress, which transcriptionally activates MAOA
	potently inhibits NFKB signaling pathway via physical interaction with RELA
	direct transcriptional target of PPARG, which plays a critical role in the cerebrovascular protection after ischaemic insults
	interacts directly with COL1A2 promoter in mesenchymal cells to repress its activity
