FOXF1 forkhead box F1

Gene ID: 2294, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FKHL5; ACDMPV; FREAC1

Summary

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in the regulation of pulmonary genes as well as embryonic development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
