Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - KLF6 is a transcription factor belonging to the Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family. - It is expressed in high levels in B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. - KLF6 is a master regulator of B cell differentiation, promoting the development and survival of plasma cells. - It is involved in the regulation of B cell activation, differentiation, and survival. **Pathways and functions:** - KLF6 is a key regulator of B cell differentiation. - It is required for the development of B cells from hematopoietic stem cells. - It is also involved in the regulation of plasma cell differentiation and survival. - KLF6 promotes the transition of naive B cells into plasma cells by upregulating the expression of plasma cell-specific genes. - It also regulates the differentiation of other immune cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in KLF6 have been linked to several human diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and inflammatory diseases. - In some cases, KLF6 mutations can lead to the development of leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. - Targeting KLF6 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer and autoimmune diseases. **Additional notes:** - KLF6 is a highly conserved protein with homologs in other species. - It is a key regulator of the immune response and plays a critical role in maintaining immune homeostasis. - Dysregulation of KLF6 has been linked to a variety of diseases, highlighting its importance in human health.
