Forkhead box protein C2 (FOXC2) also known as forkhead-related protein FKHL14 (FKHL14), transcription factor FKH-14, or mesenchyme fork head protein 1 (MFH1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXC2 gene.[1][2] FOXC2 is a member of the fork head box (FOX) family of transcription factors.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the FOXC2 gene are associated with lymphedema distichiasis,[3] and that has been studied to determine if it is associated with varicose veins.[4]

FOXC2 is also involved in cancer metastases. In particular, expression of FOXC2 is induced when epithelial cells undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and become mesenchymal looking cells. EMT can be induced by a number of genes including Snail, Twist, Goosecoid, and TGF-beta 1.[5] Suppression of FOXC2 expression using shRNA in a highly metastatic breast cancer model blocks their metastatic ability.[6]

In addition, it has been observed FOXC2 induce some features of brown adipose tissue in white adipocites.
