Full name: forkhead box F1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: FREAC1; Foxf1a; Freac-1; HFH-8; Hfh8

Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; chordate embryonic development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; respiratory system; and urethra. Used to study persistent fetal circulation syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in persistent fetal circulation syndrome. Orthologous to human FOXF1 (forkhead box F1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
