Transcription factor CP2-like protein 1 (TFCP2L1)

Transcription factor that facilitates establishment and maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) (PubMed:25215486, PubMed:26906118). With KLF2, acts as the major effector of self-renewal that mediates induction of pluripotency downstream of LIF/STAT3 and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (By similarity).

Required for normal duct improvement in the salivary gland and kidney (By similarity). Coordinates the development of the kidney collecting ducts intercalated (IC) and principal (PC) cells, which regulate acid-base and salt-water homeostasis, respectively (By similarity).
