Forkhead Box Protein C2

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Forkhead box protein C2 (501aa, ~53 kDa) is encoded by the human FOXC2 gene. This protein is involved in the formation of special mesenchymal tissues, and has been isolated in the nucleus. The protein also plays a role in adipocyte metabolism by increasing the sensitivity of the beta-adrenergic cAMP protein kinase A.

**Synonyms:** - FOXC2 - MFH-1 Protein - Mesenchyme Fork Head Protein 1 - Transcription Factor FKH-14
