Abstract excerpt
The Krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) represent a family of 15 different zinc finger proteins of the C(2)H(2) type that are involved in vertebrate development and which control cell proliferation, growth and differentiation. Structural-functional considerations have segregated KLF6 and KLF7 into a phylogenetically distinct group. Here we report the identification of Luna, the Drosophila progenitor of the...
