MeSH definition : A forkhead box transcription factor that is a major target of INSULIN signaling and
regulator of metabolic homeostasis in response to OXIDATIVE STRESS. It binds to the
insulin RESPONSE ELEMENT (IRE) and the related Daf-16 family binding element (DBE).
Its activity is suppressed by insulin and it also regulates OSTEOBLAST proliferation,
controls bone mass, and skeletal regulation of GLUCOSE metabolism. It promotes GLUCONEOGENESIS
in HEPATOCYTES and regulates gene expression in ADIPOSE TISSUE. It is also an important
CELL DEATH regulator. Chromosomal aberrations involving the FOXO1 gene occur in RHABDOMYOSARCOMA.;
