Transcription factors Krüppel-like factor 4 and paired box 5 regulate the expression of the Grainyhead-like genes.

Genes from the Grainyhead-like (GRHL) family code for transcription factors necessary for the development and maintenance of various epithelia. These genes are also very important in the development of many types of cancer. However, little is known about the regulation of expression of GRHL genes. P...
