FOXD1

This intronless gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in tumor formation. [provided by RefSeq]

Full Name

forkhead box D1

Function

Transcription factor involved in regulation of gene expression in a variety of processes, including formation of positional identity in the developing retina, regionalization of the optic chiasm, morphogenesis of the kidney, and neuralization of ectodermal cells (By similarity).

Involved in transcriptional activation of PGF and C3 genes (PubMed:27805902).
