forkhead box O3

Gene Summary

Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and mitochondrial transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrial transcription; positive regulation of muscle atrophy; and positive regulation of pri-miRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; female gonad development; and neuronal stem cell population maintenance. Located in cytosol; mitochondrial outer membrane; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Colocalizes with mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Used to study dermoid cyst of ovary. Orthologous to human FOXO3 (forkhead box O3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
