FOXG1: Proteins and Enzymes

Transcription repression factor which plays an important role in the establishment of the regional subdivision of the developing brain and in the development of the telencephalon. This gene participates in signal transduction Activin A signaling regulation, TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway, transcription factors in neurogenesis, as well as regulation of nuclear SMAD2/3 signaling. It is thought to interact with genes FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, SMAD2, and SMAD3. FOXG1 is associated with diseases such as melanoma, neuronitis, glioblastoma, purpura, west syndrome, rett syndrome, medulloblastoma, hypotonia, retinitis, maternal uniparental disomy, chromosome 14, intellectual disabilities, brain malformations, multiple sclerosis, and lupus.
