Biological function summary
This protein influences processes essential for cell survival and metabolism. FOXO4 forms part of the larger forkhead box family of transcription factors. Inside cells it regulates genes involved in mechanisms such as gluconeogenesis and immune responses. It can also interact with other proteins like 14-3-3 which helps control its nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling impacting its activity.
Pathways
FOXO4 becomes an integral part of the insulin signaling and oxidative stress response pathways. In the insulin pathway FOXO4 activity suppresses in response to insulin signals that trigger the PI3K/Akt pathway. Akt phosphorylates FOXO4 disallowing it from entering the nucleus. FOXO4 relates closely with FOXO1 and FOXO3 within these pathways where their coordinated activities help maintain energy homeostasis and cellular stress responses.
