MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] Activator protein-2 alpha (AP-2 alpha) is a developmentally-regulated transcription factor and important regulator of gene expression during vertebrate development and carcinogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Kruppel-like zinc finger protein family and can repress expression of the AP-2 alpha gene by binding to a specific site in the AP-2 alpha gene promoter. Repression by the encoded protein requires binding with a corepressor, CtBP1. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein Function and Prediction

Klf12 encodes AP2 repressor (AP-2REP), which shares structural homology with transcription factors of the Wt-1/EGR-1 family (1) and is a Krüppel-like zinc finger protein (2). AP-2REP represses the transcription of the AP-2α gene (1;2). KLF12 increases UT-A1 but not ENaC promoter activity and is proposed to be involved in the post-birth maturation of the kidney collecting ducts (3).

Expression/Localization

Klf12 expression is highest in the adult kidney and low levels are detected in the liver and lung; no other tissues expressed transcripts (1). Expression is initially observed in the kidney at about 15 days after birth (3).  AP-2REP is expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney (3).
