FOXO1 forkhead box O1

Gene ID: 2308, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FKH1; FKHR; FOXO1A

Summary

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Translocation of this gene with PAX3 has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
