Activity summary

The Forkhead box I1 (FOXI1) also known by various alternative names such as HFH3 or FKHL10 is a transcription factor with a mass of approximately 40 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in epithelial tissues including the kidney and inner ear. FOXI1 plays a mechanical role by binding to specific DNA sequences to regulate the transcription of target genes influencing cellular development and differentiation.

Biological function summary

FOXI1 impacts several fundamental processes including the development of epithelial structures. It acts as a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors known for their roles in cellular growth and differentiation. FOXI1 does not typically form part of a larger protein complex but it interacts with other proteins such as FOXE1 and FGFR2 to execute its biological functions efficiently. These interactions are important for proper organ formation and function.

Pathways

Several cellular and developmental pathways involve FOXI1. Notably FOXI1 plays an important role in the Wnt signaling pathway essential for cell fate determination and organ development. In this context FOXI1 regulates gene expression by interacting with other pathway components like β-catenin. Additionally FOXI1 participates in the hedgehog signaling pathway where its involvement influences gene transcription in response to developmental cues.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysregulation of FOXI1 have connections to conditions such as distal renal tubular acidosis and sensorineural hearing loss. In distal renal tubular acidosis FOXI1's transcriptional control affects ion channel and transporter expression in the kidney. The disorder links to other proteins like AE1 and H+-ATPase where altered FOXI1 activity influences their expression or function. Sensorineural hearing loss associations with FOXI1 involve its regulatory roles in the inner ear's development affecting auditory function.
