Disease relevance of FOXF1

 

High impact information on FOXF1

  • In contrast, a group of distinct proteins, including FOXF1, POD1, GLI, and HOX family members, play important roles in the developing lung mesenchyme, from which pulmonary vessels and bronchial smooth muscle develop [3].
  • The binding sites for all four FREAC proteins share a core sequence, RTAAAYA, but differ in the positions flanking the core [4].
  • We have used PCR and low stringency hybridization to isolate clones from human cDNA and genomic libraries that represent seven novel forkhead genes, freac-1 to freac-7 [4].
  • With regard to genes related to cell growth regulation, we found up-regulation of forkhead transcription factor FREAC-1, poly (A) binding protein PABP2, and Ras suppressor Rsu-1 [5].
  • The concentration of expression to subepithelial mesenchyme suggested that Foxf1 is activated by paracrine signals from endodermal epithelia [6].

Associations of FOXF1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of FOXF1

  • Activation domain 1 consists of the most C-terminal 23 amino acids of FREAC-2 and contains a sequence motif conserved in an activation domain of another forkhead protein, FREAC-1 [12].
  • Affected genes such as FOXF1, sucrase-isomaltase, collagen, interferon, complement and thrombospondin 1 have previously been linked to CFTR function or are known to contribute to the related processes of epithelial differentiation and repair [13].
