Protein
Krueppel-like factor 16
Function
Transcription factor that binds GC and GT boxes in the D1A, D2 and D3 dopamine receptor promoters and displaces Sp1 and Sp3 from these sequences. It modulates dopaminergic transmission in the brain by repressing or activating transcription from several different promoters depending on cellular context.
Similarity
Belongs to the Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
