FOXP3 Antibody: FOXP3 is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators. FOXP3 acts as a repressor of transcription and regulates T cell activation, with its overexpression in CD4 T cells leading to an attenuation of activation-induced cytokine production and proliferation. In regulatory T (Treg) cells, FOXP3 is essential for Treg suppressor function and its expression leads to the repression of IL-17 expression. Genetic mutations involving FOXP3 are the cause of immunodeficiency polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), also known as X-linked autoimmunity-immunodeficiency syndrome.1) Disruption of a new forkhead/winged-helix protein, scurfin, results in the fatal lymphoproliferative disorder of the scurfy mouse.
