FOXK2 - forkhead box K2 Gene
Also Known as ILF; ILF1; ILF-1; nGTBP
Species: Homo sapiens
About FOXK2
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 11.2), brain (RPKM 8.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains a fork head DNA binding domain. This protein can bind to the purine-rich motifs of the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR), and to the similar purine-rich motif in the interleukin 2 (IL2) promoter. It may be involved in the regulation of viral and cellular promoter elements. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
