Synthesized peptide derived from part region of human protein

FOXC2 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.

FOXC2 FKHL14 MFH1

Forkhead box protein C2 (Forkhead-related protein FKHL14) (Mesenchyme fork head protein 1) (MFH-1 protein) (Transcription factor FKH-14)

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in the development of mesenchymal tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Disease:Defects in FOXC2 are a cause of lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome (LYD) [MIM:153400]. LYD is characterized by primary limb lymphedema usually starting at puberty (but in some cases later or at birth) and associated with distichiasis (double rows of eyelashes, with extra eyelashes growing from the Meibomian gland orifices).,Disease:Defects in FOXC2 are a cause of lymphedema-yellow nails (LYYN) [MIM:153300]. LYYN is characterized by yellow, dystrophic, thick and slowly growing nails, associated with lymphedema and respiratory involvement. Lymphedema occurs more often in the lower limbs. It can appear at birth or later in life. Onset generally follows the onset of ungual abnormalities.,Disease:Defects in FOXC2 are the cause of lymphedema hereditary type 2 (LYH2) [MIM:153200]; also known as Meige lymphedema. Hereditary lymphedema is a chronic disabling condition which results in swelling of the extremities due to altered lymphatic flow. Patients with lymphedema suffer from recurrent local infections, and physical impairment.,Function:Transcriptional activator. Might be involved in the formation of special mesenchymal tissues.,similarity:Contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain.,
