Abstract
Kruppel-like factors (KLF) are zinc-finger DNA-binding transcription factors that are critical regulators of tissue homeostasis. Emerging evidence suggests that KLFs are critical regulators of muscle biology in the context of cardiovascular health and disease. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the physiologic and pathologic roles of KLFs in the three lineages of muscle: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal.Entities:
