FAST-1/2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

FOXH1 encodes a human homolog of Xenopus forkhead activin signal transducer-1. FOXH1 protein binds SMAD2 and activates an activin response element via binding the DNA motif TGT (G/T) (T/G) ATT. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], domain:The FM region is required for binding smad2/smad4 complexes. FM2 is more effective than FM1 and only interacts with phosphorylated smad2 that is in an activated smad complex., function:Transcriptional activator. Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-TGT[GT][GT]ATT-3'. Required for induction of the goosecoid (GSC) promoter by TGF-beta or activin signaling. Forms a transcriptionally active complex containing FOXH1/SMAD2/SMAD4 on a site on the GSC promoter called TARE (TGF-beta/activin response element) ., similarity:Contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain., subunit:Interacts with the MH2 domains of SMAD2 and SMAD3., tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.
