General description

Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2) is a transcription factor. It belongs to the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcription factors. This gene is located on human chromosome 16q24.
This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in the development of mesenchymal tissues. (provided by RefSeq)

Immunogen

FOXC2 (NP_005242.1, 421 a.a. ~ 501 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-FOXC2 antibody has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2) controls YAP (yes-associated protein) signaling and stimulates the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by promoting glycolysis. It plays a major role in inducing invasion and metastasis. Mutations in FOXC2 result in hereditary Lymphedema-Distichiasis syndrome.

Physical form
