Human FoxP4Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated Antibody

FoxP4 (Forkhead box protein P4; also FKHLA) is a 70-80 kDa member of the winged helix transcription factor gene family, FoxP subfamily of proteins. It is a transcriptional repressor that is strongly expressed in embryonic gut and lung epithelium, and in neurons both pre-and postnatally. Postnatally, it is found in cerebellar Purkinje cells. During development, it is found in hippocampal hilus, proliferating cells of the ventricular zone, and neurons of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala. Human FoxP4 is 680 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a large poly-Gln region (aa 65-219), a C2H2 Zn-finger domain (aa 307-332), a Leu-zipper dimerization motift (aa 349-370) and a forkhead DNA binding domain (aa 467-559). Phosphorylation occurs at Ser360. FoxP4 forms homodimers, and heterodimers with FoxP1 and FoxP2; it does not bind CTBP1. One potential splice form shows a deletion of aa 384-395. Over aa 549-680, human and mouse FoxP4 share 89% aa identity.
