GlossaryForkhead box proteins

transcription factors regulating gene expression in various processes

Forkhead box proteins, often abbreviated as FOX proteins, are a family of transcription factors that play crucial roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and longevity. They are named for their distinct DNA-binding domain, which resembles the shape of a forkhead. These proteins are essential for normal development and function, and mutations in FOX genes can lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and developmental disorders.
