Forkhead transcription factors: key players in health and disease [PDF]
Forkhead box (FOX) proteins constitute an evolutionarily conserved family of transcription factors with a central role not only during development, but also in the adult organism. Thus, the misregulation and/or mutation of FOX genes often induce human genetic diseases, promote cancer or deregulate ageing.

Forkhead transcription factor Foxo1 is essential for adipocyte differentiation [PDF]
We analyzed the physiological role of forkhead box class O 1 (Foxo1) in adipocyte differentiation by suppressing Foxo1 mRNAwith siRNA specific for Foxo1.Mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes infected with an adenovirus expressing Foxo1-siRNA showed a marked decrease in lipid droplet formation when induced to differentiate into adipocytes.

Expression of forkhead transcription factors in human granulosa cells
Fertility and Sterility, 2009Members of the forkhead box O1 (FOXO) family of transcription factors are expressed in granulosa cells during various stages of follicle development, and evidence from rodent and other model systems suggests that they may be involved in regulating follicular activation and oocyte maturation.

Forkhead transcription factor foxe1 regulates chondrogenesis in zebrafish
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2009AbstractForkhead transcription factor (Fox) e1 is a causative gene for Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome, which is characterized by hypothyroidism and cleft palate. Applying degenerate polymerase chain reaction using primers specific for the conserved forkhead domain, we identified zebrafish foxe1 (foxe1).

Forkhead-box transcription factors and their role in the immune system
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2004It is more than a decade since the discovery of the first forkhead-box (FOX) transcription factor in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. In the intervening time, there has been an explosion in the identification and characterization of members of this family of proteins. Importantly, in the past few years, it has become clear that members of the FOX

Forkhead transcription factors contribute to execution of the mitotic programme in mammals
Nature, 2001Cell cycle progression is a process that is tightly controlled by internal and external signals. Environmental cues, such as those provided by growth factors, activate early signals that promote cell cycle entry. Cells that have progressed past the restriction point become independent of growth factors, and cell cycle progression is then controlled ...
