Forkhead box protein P1, a key player in neuronal development?

摘要

Forkhead box protein P1(FOXP1)is a transcription factor belonging to the forkhead box(FOX)proteins,a family of transcriptional regulators sharing a highly conserved forkhead DNA-binding domain(Bacon and Rappold,2012).Previous reports have proposed a role for FOXP1 in functionally regulating the central nervous system(CNS),while mutations in FOXP1 have been implicated in cognitive abnormalities(Bacon
