FOXO2, AF6q21, FKHRL1, FOXO3A, FKHRL1P2, Forkhead box protein O3, AF6q21 protein, Forkhead in rhabdomyosarcoma-like 1, FOXO3
Transcriptional activator which triggers apoptosis in the absence of survival factors, including neuronal cell death upon oxidative stress. Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5-[AG]TAAA[TC]A-3. Participates in post-transcriptional regulation of MYC: following phosphorylation by MAPKAPK5, promotes induction of miR-34b and miR-34c expression, 2 post-transcriptional regulators of MYC that bind to the 3UTR of MYC transcript and prevent its translation.
