Anti Drosophila Forkhead Box Protein O (dFOXO) pAb
Antibody Type
Primary Antibodies
Product description
Forkhead transcription factor FoxO controls various cellular processes involved in cell cycle, cell death, metabolism and oxidative stress. Recent studies have also suggested FoxO is a key molecule for lifespan regulation of various organisms. Drosophila has a single FoxO gene (dFoxO), inactivation of which is dispensable for survival. However, dFoxO appears to regulate resistance to oxidative stress and aging in Drosophila. The activity of dFoxO is regulated by phosphorylation, ubiquitination and acetylation, which may cause multiple bands of dFoxO in western blotting using this antibody. This antibody detects endogenous levels of total dFoxO protein.
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of catabolic process; regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of with a negative effect on regulation of hemocyte proliferation and regulation of organ growth. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic segment; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; epidermis; fat body; and gut section. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXO4 (forkhead box O4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
