Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 668
Gene name Forkhead box L2
Gene symbol FOXL2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BPESBPES1PFRKPINTOPOF3
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q22.3
Summary This gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor. The protein contains a fork-head DNA-binding domain and may play a role in ovarian development and function. Expansion of a polyalanine repeat region and other mutations in this gene are a cause of blepha

Accession ID Position in sequence Description Type
PF00250 Forkhead 53 139 Forkhead domain Domain
Tissue specificity TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In addition to its expression in the developing eyelid, it is transcribed very early in somatic cells of the developing gonad (before sex determination) and its expression persists in the follicular cells of the adult ovary.
