Background

FoxO1, also called FKHR (forkhead in ­rhabdomyosarcoma), is a 655 amino acid (aa), 70 kDa, ubiquitously expressed member of the forkhead box O family of winged helix transcription factors. In neurons, it is activated in response to stress, translocating to the nucleus where it promotes apoptosis and blocks proliferation. In insulin-responsive tissues, nutrient abundance triggers phosphorylation by AKT that blocks nuclear translocation and activity. A 60 kDa form, cleaved at R537, has been found in androgen-treated prostate cancer cells. Over aa 353‑655, human FoxO1/FKHR shares 93% aa identity with mouse and rat FoxO1/FKHR.
