    Summary
    This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through expression of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (8) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream start codon relative to variant 1. The encoded isoform (4, also known as FOXO3A-S) has a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1. A SNP in the 5' UTR of this variant, rs9400239, has been associated with human longevity (PMID:36617632).
