FOXO4
FOXO4
A gene on chromosome Xq13.1, which encodes a member of the O class of winged helix/forkhead transcription factor family, which are regulated by factors involved in growth and differentiation and thus play a role in these processes. It is involved in regulating the insulin signaling pathway, by binding to insulin-response elements and can activate transcription of IGFBP1. It also downregulates expression of HIF1A and suppresses hypoxia-induced transcriptional activation of HIF1A-modulated genes and is involved in negative regulation of the cell cycleMolecular pathology A translocation of FOXO9 on chromosome X and the homolog of the Drosophila trithorax gene, encodes a DNA binding protein on chromosome 11, which is associated with leukaemia.
