FOXF2
geneOn this page
Also known as FREAC2
Summary
FOXF2 (forkhead box F2, HGNC:3810) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p25.3, encoding Forkhead box protein F2 (Q12947). Probable transcription activator for a number of lung-specific genes.
FOXF2 encodes forkhead box F2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster transcription factor forkhead. FOXF2 is expressed in lung and placenta, and has been shown to transcriptionally activate several lung-specific genes.
