Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA endoreduplication; autophagic cell death; and determination of adult lifespan. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; epithelium; gut section; head epidermis primordium; and primary neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung cancer (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXA2 (forkhead box A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Title: Intestinal Fork Head Regulates Nutrient Absorption and Promotes Longevity.
Fkh maintains the expression of stem/progenitor cell markers and is required for stem cell proliferation during intestinal homeostasis and regeneration.It prevents intestinal stem/progenitor cells from precocious differentiation into the enterocyte lineage, likely in cooperation with bHLH/Daughterless. Its loss suppresses the intestinal tumorigenesis caused by Notch pathway inactivation.

Title: [Immunoprecipitation mapping of the TRX-associated chromosome elements in the fork head gene promoter in the Drosophila melanogaster salivary gland cells].
Fkh cooperates with the salivary gland-specific bHLH protein Sage to directly regulate expression of PH4alphaSG2, as well as sage itself, and to indirectly regulate expression of PH4alphaSG1.
Title: Fork head and Sage maintain a uniform and patent salivary gland lumen through regulation of two downstream target genes, PH4alphaSG1 and PH4alphaSG2.
