FOXL2 (OMIM 605597) is a transcription factor belonging to the forkhead box (FOX) superfamily, characterized by the forkhead box/winged-helix DNA-binding domain. FOXL2 plays an important role in ovarian development and function. [6]

2024年12月25日 · FOXL2 (Forkhead Box L2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FOXL2 include Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, And Epicanthus Inversus and Premature Ovarian Failure 3. Among its related pathways are Transport of the SLBP independent Mature mRNA and Metabolism of proteins.

The FOXL2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that attaches (binds) to specific regions of DNA and helps control the activity of particular genes. On the basis of this role, the FOXL2 protein is called a transcription factor.

2009年6月25日 · All four index GCTs had a missense point mutation, 402C→G (C134W), in FOXL2, a gene encoding a transcription factor known to be critical for granulosa-cell development. The FOXL2 mutation was...

The FOXL2 (forkhead box L2) gene is located on chromosome 3 and encodes for forkhead box (FOX) family of transcription factors which play a critical role in various biological processes. Germline FOXL2 mutations have been identified in …

The transcription factor FOXL2 is required in ovarian somatic cells for female fertility. Differential timing of Foxl2 deletion, in embryonic versus adult mouse ovary, leads to distinctive outcomes, suggesting different roles across development. ...

Foxl2 is a forkhead transcription factor essential for proper reproductive function in females. Human patients carrying mutations in the FOXL2 gene display blepharophimosis/ptosis/epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant disease associated with eyelid defects and premature ovarian …

FOXL2 encodes a transcription factor that regulates a wide array of target genes including those involved in sex development, eyelid development, ovarian function and maintenance, genomic integrity as well as cellular pathways such as cell-cycle progression, proliferation, and apoptosis.

FOXL2 is a gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor, whose mutations are responsible for the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome that often involves premature ovarian failure.

2020年4月24日 · FOXL2 ablation enhances Ku recruitment to DSB sites, imbalances DSB repair kinetics by accelerating NHEJ and inhibiting HR, and thus leads to catastrophic genomic events.
