Abstract
Background: KLF14 has elicited attention as a master regulator of lipid metabolism. Results: KLF14 regulates chromatin remodeling on sphingosine kinase 1 gene leading to its activation and sphingosine-1-phosphate production. Conclusion: KLF14 acts as a transcriptional activator for the generation of lipid signaling molecules. Significance: This new knowledge extends the functions assigned to KLF14 and contributes to understanding its role in human diseases.
