The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000118263 (KLF7, KLF transcription factor 7) is as follows. Transcriptional factor (PubMed:16339272, PubMed:9774444). Plays a critical role in neuronal morphogenesis and survival of sensory neurons (By similarity). Represses the corneal epithelium differentiation (PubMed:28916725). Also acts as a metabolic regulator, by modulating insulin sensitivity in pancreatic beta cells and skeletal muscle cells (PubMed:16339272). Inhibits transcriptional inducers of adipogenesis and has a repressive role in the expression of several adipokines, including leptin (PubMed:16339272). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99JB0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28916725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9774444}.
