Human Forkhead Box O4, FOXO4 ELI

Transcription factor involved in the regulation of the insulin signaling pathway.

Binds to insulin-response elements (IREs) and can activate transcription of IGFBP1.

Down-regulates expression of HIF1A and suppresses hypoxia-induced transcriptional activation of HIF1A-modulated genes.

Also involved in negative regulation of the cell cycle.

Involved in increased proteasome activity in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by activating expression of PSMD11 in ESCs, leading to enhanced assembly of the 26S proteasome, followed by higher proteasome activity.
