Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mesenchyme morphogenesis; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and respiratory system development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. 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).

FOXF1 mutations identified in 28 subjects with ACDMPV. Foxf1WT/S52F knock-in mice recapitulated histopathologic findings in ACDMPV infants. The S52F FOXF1 mutation disrupted STAT3-FOXF1 protein-protein interactions and inhibited transcription of Stat3 STAT3 signaling and endothelial proliferation were reduced in Foxf1WT/S52F mice and human ACDMPV lungs.

Knockout of Foxf1 and Foxf2 together, but not alone, from mouse smooth muscle resulted in delayed liquid gastric emptying
Title: Gastroparesis is associated with decreased FOXF1 and FOXF2 in humans, and loss of FOXF1 and FOXF2 results in gastroparesis in mice.
FOXF1 deletion increases myofibroblast invasion and collagen secretion and promotes a switch from N-cadherin (CDH2) to Cadherin-11 (CDH11), which is a critical step in the acquisition of the pro-fibrotic phenotype. FOXF1 directly binds to Cdh2 and Cdh11 promoters and differentially regulates transcription of these genes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
