FoxQ1是Fox基因家族的一员，其特征是一个保守的110个氨基酸DNA结合基序，称为叉头或翼螺旋结构域。FOX基因参与胚胎发育、细胞周期调控、组织特异性基因表达、细胞信号传导和肿瘤发生（Bieller等人，2001年[出版医学杂志11747606]）。[由OMIM提供，2009年5月]
FOXQ1 is a member of the FOX gene family, which is characterized by a conserved 110-amino acid DNA-binding motif called the forkhead or winged helix domain. FOX genes are involved in embryonic development, cell cycle regulation, tissue-specific gene expression, cell signaling, and tumorigenesis (Bieller et al., 2001 [PubMed 11747606]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2009]
