FOXM1 also known as Forkhead Box M1 functions mechanically as a transcription factor. This target plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression during the cell cycle. It is characterized by a molecular weight of approximately 85 kDa. FOXM1 is mainly expressed in actively proliferating cells including the liver lungs and thymus tissues linking it with processes involved in cellular growth and division.
Biological function summary
The transcription factor FOXM1 regulates the expression of genes important for DNA replication and mitosis. It forms part of a complex network with other proteins to initiate and sustain cell proliferation. This protein regulates key regulatory genes such as Cyclin B1 and Plk1 ensuring proper transition through various phases of the cell cycle. The presence of FOXM1 in normal tissues emphasizes its role in maintaining healthy cell division.
Pathways
FOXM1 is integral to the regulation of cell cycle pathways and interacts with proteins involved in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This target coordinates with various proteins to facilitate progression through cell cycle checkpoints and modulate responses to growth signals. Proteins such as CDK1 and SKP2 operate alongside FOXM1 to advance cells from G2 phase into mitosis demonstrating its involvement in cell cycle control mechanics.
FOXM1 shows significant association with cancer progression and metastasis. Overexpression of FOXM1 has been observed in colorectal and breast cancers indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. FOXM1 interacts with proteins like β-catenin in cancerous states influencing tumor growth and survival. Mutations and dysregulation of FOXM1 contribute to oncogenic processes further underlining its role in disease development.
