Forkhead box gene transcriptions
"Forkhead box (Fox) proteins are a superfamily of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulators, which control a wide spectrum of biological processes."
"Forkhead box (FOX) proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors (TFs), members of which display functional diversity and participate in cellular processes ranging from development to immunity and metabolism12. More than 170 FOX family members have been identified from different species and classified into 19 subfamilies (from FOXA to FOXS)34."

# Human genes
Gene ID: 2308 is FOXO1 forkhead box O1 on 13q14.11: "This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Translocation of this gene with PAX3 has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma."

# Interactions

# Consensus sequences
"FOXA2, a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors, plays essential roles in liver development and bile acid homeostasis.  report a 2.8 A co-crystal structure of the FOXA2 DNA-binding domain (FOXA2-DBD) bound to a DNA duplex containing a forkhead consensus binding site (GTAAACA)."
"Most paralogous FOX proteins bind to the canonical DNA response element 5-RYAAAYA-3 (R = A or G, Y = C or T)1113."
"Genome-wide analysis of FOXA2-binding sites by ChIP-seq in human and mouse adult liver tissues suggested that FOXA2 binds to the consensus sequence (5-GTAAACA-3) of the FOX family2425."
"Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), a master transcriptional factor for gluconeogenesis in the liver, directly regulates TXNIP expression through the binding of the promoter region of TXNIP which contains a conserved consensus sequence, GTAAACAA, of the FOXO binding site ."

# Hypotheses
- A1BG has no forkhead boxes in either promoter.
- A1BG is not transcribed by a forkhead box.
- A forkhead box does not participate in the transcription of A1BG.

# Forkhead box analysis and results
"Most paralogous FOX proteins bind to the canonical DNA response element 5-RYAAAYA-3 (R = A or G, Y = C or T)1113."
Comparison:
The occurrences of real forkhead box UTRs, proximals, negative distals are greater than the randoms, positive distals are less than the randoms. This suggests that the real forkhead boxes are likely active or activable.

# Diseases
The "deregulation of Fox family transcription factors has a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer".
