Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1)

Transcription factor that's the main goal of insulin signaling and regulates metabolic homeostasis in response to oxidative stress. Binds to the insulin response element (IRE) with consensus sequence 5'-TT[G/A]TTTTG-3' and the associated Daf-16 household binding component (DBE) with consensus sequence 5'- TT[G/A]TTTAC-3'.

Activity suppressed by insulin. Main regulator of redox balance and osteoblast numbers and controls bone mass.
