Foxk1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 14-3-3 protein binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular glucose homeostasis; negative regulation of autophagy; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human FOXK1 (forkhead box K1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Foxk1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
