MeSH definition : A forkhead box transcription factor and transcriptional activator which triggers type
1 programmed cell death (APOPTOSIS) in the absence of APOPTOSIS INHIBITING PROTEINS,
including neuronal cell death induced by OXIDATIVE STRESS. It recognizes and binds
to the DNA sequence 5'-(AG)TAAA(TC)A-3' and also functions in post-transcriptional
regulation of the c-MYC PROTO-ONCOGENE.;
MeSH synonym : Forkhead in Rhabdomyosarcoma-Like 1 Protein; Forkhead in Rhabdomyosarcoma Like 1 Protein; FOXO3 Protein; Protein, FOXO3;
