FOXQ1 forkhead box Q1

Gene ID: 94234, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HFH1

Summary

FOXQ1 is a member of the FOX gene family, which is characterized by a conserved 110-amino acid DNA-binding motif called the forkhead or winged helix domain. FOX genes are involved in embryonic development, cell cycle regulation, tissue-specific gene expression, cell signaling, and tumorigenesis (Bieller et al., 2001 [PubMed 11747606]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2009]
