Abstract
The mammalian Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of zinc-finger containing transcription factors with diverse patterns of expression and a wide array of cellular functions. While their roles in mammalian physiology are well known, there is a growing appreciation for their roles in modulating the fundamental progression of aging. Here we review the current knowledge of Krüppel-like factors with a focus on their roles in processes regulating aging and age-associated diseases.Entities:
