NCIt synonyms : Forkhead Box O1A; Forkhead in Rhabdomyosarcoma; Forkhead Box Protein O1A; FOXO1A; Forkhead Box-O1A Protein; FOXO1;
NCIt definition : Forkhead box protein O1 (655 aa, 70 kDa) is encoded by the human FOXO1 gene. This
protein plays a role in the regulation of embryonic development, transcription and
apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Forkhead Box O1 is a probable nuclear transcription factor (phosphorylated by AKT1;
insulin-induced) that contains 1 forkhead domain and may play a role in myogenic growth
and differentiation. Translocations of the FOXO1A gene - t(2;13)(q35;q14) or t(1;13)(p36;q14)
- are associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma-2 that produce FOXO1A/PAX3 and FOXO1A/PAX7
transcriptional activators.;
