Forkhead Box-O3A Protein Definition

Forkhead Box O3A, encoded by the FOXO3A Gene, belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through expression of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia.
