Forkhead box protein O

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; regulation of dauer larval development; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line; gonad; hypodermis; neurons; and somatic cell. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXO1 (forkhead box O1); FOXO3 (forkhead box O3); and FOXO4 (forkhead box O4).
