Foxp1 - forkhead box P1 Gene

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in T follicular helper cell differentiation; motor neuron axon guidance; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Barrett's esophagus; congenital heart disease; esophagus adenocarcinoma; intellectual disability-severe speech delay-mild dysmorphism syndrome; and peritonitis. Orthologous to human FOXP1 (forkhead box P1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
