FOXF2 - forkhead box F2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as FKHL6; FREAC2; FREAC-2

Gene ID: 2295 | Gene type: protein coding

About FOXF2

Cytogenetic location: 6p25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:1,389,576-1,395,603 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 202 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Biased expression in lung (RPKM 8.4), prostate (RPKM 6.0) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

FOXF2 encodes forkhead box F2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster transcription factor forkhead. FOXF2 is expressed in lung and placenta, and has been shown to transcriptionally activate several lung-specific genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
