Facts about Krueppel-like factor 17.
Specifically binds the 5'-CACCC-3' sequence in the promoter of ID1, a key metastasis regulator in breast cancer, and repress its own expression. Might be a germ cell-specific transcription factor that plays important roles in spermatid differentiation and oocyte development.
