Also known as FREAC6
Summary
FOXI1 (forkhead box I1, HGNC:3815) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q35.1, encoding Forkhead box protein I1 (Q12951). Transcriptional activator required for the development of normal hearing, sense of balance and kidney function.
This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors, which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene may play an important role in the development of the cochlea and vestibulum, as well as in embryogenesis. The encoded protein has been found to be required for the transcription of four subunits of a proton pump found in the inner ear, the kidney, and the epididymis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with deafness, autosomal recessive 4.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 82 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
