Forkhead box protein K1 (Foxk1)

Important regulatory factor of the myogenic progenitor cell population (PubMed:9271401). Involved in the cell cycle process, promotes proliferation by repressing Foxo4 transcriptional activity and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21CIP, in the myogenic progenitor cells (PubMed:12446708).

Represses myogenic differentiation by inhibiting MEFC acitivity (PubMed:22956541). Has a role in remodeling processes of adult muscles that occur in response to physiological stimuli (PubMed:9271401, PubMed:22956541).
