"Forkhead box (Fox) proteins are a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulators, which control a wide spectrum of biological processes."[1]

"Forkhead box (FOX) proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors (TFs), members of which display functional diversity and participate in cellular processes ranging from development to immunity and metabolism1–2. More than 170 FOX family members have been identified from different species and classified into 19 subfamilies (from FOXA to FOXS)3–4."[2]

Deregulations

The "deregulation of Fox family transcription factors has a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer".[1]

Consensus sequences

"FOXA2, a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors, plays essential roles in liver development and bile acid homeostasis. [We] report a 2.8 Å co-crystal structure of the FOXA2 DNA-binding domain (FOXA2-DBD) bound to a DNA duplex containing a forkhead consensus binding site (GTAAACA)."[2]

"Most paralogous FOX proteins bind to the canonical DNA response element 5′-RYAAAYA-3′ (R = A or G, Y = C or T)11–13."[2]

"Genome-wide analysis of FOXA2-binding sites by ChIP-seq in human and mouse adult liver tissues suggested that FOXA2 binds to the consensus sequence (5′-GTAAACA-3′) of the FOX family24–25."[2]
