Anti-FOXF1 Picoband® Antibody

Forkhead box protein F1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXF1 gene. It is mapped to 16q24.1. This 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 the regulation of pulmonary genes as well as embryonic development.

Detected in adult brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, heart, colon, small intestine testis and thymus. Expression was strongest in heart and pancreas.
