FOXE1

Entrez Summary: This intronless gene encodes a protein that belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors. Members of this family contain a conserved 100-amino acid DNA-binding 'forkhead' domain. The encoded protein functions as a thyroid transcription factor that plays a role in thyroid morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with the Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome, and with susceptibility to nonmedullary thyroid cancer-4. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016].
UniProt Summary: Transcription factor that binds consensus sites on a variety of gene promoters and activate their transcription. Involved in proper palate formation, most probably through the expression of MSX1 and TGFB3 genes which are direct targets of this transcription factor. Also implicated in thyroid gland morphogenesis. May indirectly play a role in cell growth and migration through the regulation of WNT5A expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12165566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16882747, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20094846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20484477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21177256, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24219130, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25381600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697705}.
