Alternative Synonym:
AFX, AFX1, MLLT7
FOXO4 is transcription factor involved in the regulation of the insulin signaling pathway. It binds to insulin-response elements (IREs) and can activate transcription of IGFBP1. The protein can down-regulate expression of HIF1A and suppress hypoxia-induced transcriptional activation of HIF1A-modulated genes. It is also involved in negative regulation of the cell cycle. A chromosomal aberration involving FOXO4 is found in acute leukemias.
