Forkhead Box Protein O3 (FOXO3) ELISA Kit for Human

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through expression of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

FOXO3A: a transcription factors of the forkhead family. Contains 1 fork-head domain. May regulate apoptosis through control of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia.
