Preparation and Storage

Background: FoxK1

FOX K1 (Forkhead box protein K1; also MNF) is a 75 kDa (predicted) nuclear protein that is a Class 1 member of the FOX family of transcription factors. It should not be confused with FOXK2/ILF1 that has also been referred to as FOXK1. It is widely expressed, but has become known as a marker for skeletal muscle satellite cells in the adult. Human FOXK1 is 733 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one FHA domain that binds phosphopeptides (aa 116-203), plus a forkhead DNA binding region (aa 305-400) and over a dozen Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites. There are multiple potential splice variants. Two utilize an alternative start site at Met118 that may be accompanied by a 28 aa substitution for aa 673-733, while another contains 24 aa substitution for aa 1-187. Over aa 493-670, human FOXK1 shares 90% aa identity with mouse FOXK1.
