forkhead box protein P4 (FOXP4)

Function

• transcriptional repressor
• represses lung-specific expression
• forms homodimers & heterodimers with FOXP1 & FOXP2
• dimerization is required for DNA-binding
• leucine-zipper is required for dimerization & transcriptional repression

Structure

• contains 1 C2H2-type zinc finger
• contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain

Compartment

nucleus

More general terms

• forkhead family transcription factor
• C2H2 type zinc finger protein
